MORE than 40,000 families from across the country received food assistance from THE No One Sleeps Hungry (NOSH) organisation during the recent Eid al-Adha celebrations.
Led by Medtech Holdings, chief executive officer, Mr Afzal Motiwala, who is the founder of NOSH Zimbabwe, the organisation increased its annual food distribution assistance by 25 percent with more than 40 000 families from across the country benefitting this year.
Mr Motiwala expressed his gratitude to the organisation’s partners for their crucial role in making this year’s distribution a success.
“We are incredibly grateful to our Turkish partners for their ongoing support in helping us improve lives,” he said.
“This collaboration allows us to expand our reach and make a real difference for families in need.”
NOSH emphasizes inclusivity, ensuring that its food distribution efforts reach those in need regardless of religious affiliation.
This year, the organisation surpassed its previous record by slaughtering and distributing 1,500 goats and 1,500 cattle nationwide.
“For years, our mission has been to ensure that no one goes hungry,” said NOSH spokesperson Gashirai Nyemba.
“This year, we managed to reach over 40,000 families, a significant increase from the 30,000 families we assisted last year.”
NOSH’s humanitarian efforts extend beyond Zimbabwe’s border and last year, NOSH provided assistance to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Cyclone Freddy in Malawi.
