PHILANTHROPIST Dr Justice Mhishi, in collaboration with the Tzu Chi Foundation, today donated food to vulnerable residents of Kambuzuma 3 in Harare, including people with disabilities, widows, the elderly, and other disadvantaged members of the community.
The initiative seeks to complement Government efforts to support vulnerable communities in line with President Mnangagwa’s national mantra of leaving no one and no place behind.
Speaking during the donation ceremony, Dr Mhishi said the initiative was aimed at spreading love, hope, and support to those in need.
“Today we are sharing love, hope and support with our mothers and fathers in our community here in Kambuzuma,” he said.
Dr Mhishi returned to Kambuzuma with food donations, including rice, after previously visiting the community to distribute wheelchairs to people with disabilities. His continued engagement with the community reflects his commitment to improving the welfare of disadvantaged groups, particularly those facing economic hardships and challenges in meeting their daily needs.
Dr Mhishi stated that his philanthropic work extends beyond Harare, as he is reaching out to vulnerable communities across the country’s provinces, with a particular focus on assisting people with disabilities and other less privileged members of society.
The food donations are expected to assist beneficiary families in meeting their basic needs and improving household food security amid economic challenges affecting vulnerable households. By providing essential food supplies, the initiative also seeks to ease the burden on families struggling to secure food, while promoting dignity and compassion within communities.
Dr Mhishi noted that his efforts were guided by the need to support the President’s vision of achieving an upper-middle-income economy by 2030, which requires the active participation of various stakeholders in improving public livelihoods.
“I am supporting the vision of our President, and we are trying as much as we can to support the needy so that we can achieve Vision 2030,” he concluded.
