IN an act of kindness and a deep desire to help others, the United Kingdom-based Church Sound of Dominion Ministries has donated groceries to twelve orphans and their caregivers under the Primrose Mutsigiri Foundation, based in Hope Fountain on the outskirts of Bulawayo.
In an interview, Pastor Walter Chahwanda, representing the church, said this was the first time the church had donated to such a cause.
They donated groceries, including sugar, flour, cooking oil, and other items.
“I received word from the Lord that I must give to an orphanage, and because I work closely with Primrose Mutsigiri and have heard so much about this foundation from her, I decided to donate to it,” he said.
He said they hope to lessen the burden placed on caregivers and help the children, adding that the groceries were a starting point for bigger things, such as educational programmes, empowerment initiatives, and entrepreneurship training to equip the children with the skills they need to succeed in life.
“Groceries are a starting point; we are looking to use educational stuff, empowerment stuff, and entrepreneurship skills as a platform to empower the children. So, the groceries are a good place to start a conversation,” he said.
Pastor Chahwanda said that they hope to raise more funds to assist more people in need in the future.
Thembi Gwebu, a caregiver to one of the orphans, expressed her joy at receiving the groceries and said that it helps them lessen the troubles they face.
She also expressed her gratitude to the Primrose Mutsigiri Foundation for their continued support.
“There are times when we face numerous challenges, such as school fees, food shortages, and other necessities. However, thanks to this foundation, our burdens are lessened. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support,” she said.
Also present at the handover ceremony was Decide Chauke, the senior pastor and founder of The Anchor of Christ International Ministries.
He praised the donation, highlighting its importance in supporting the orphans and caregivers.
“Love is not only expressed through words but also through actions. As we gather here during this important time of year, leading up to Christmas, many families, especially the less privileged, do not have enough food to eat.
“This donation is a significant breakthrough for the families receiving these food items, especially during this time of need. This is something we Zimbabweans should learn to do more often: show love and give back to those less privileged,” he said.
