What about the rest of Zimbabwe?
“When you are doing philanthropic work you need to be targetted to be impactful. So what we did, especially with education, is we went to the Ministry of Education and we asked them on which particular areas they would recommend for us to assist” “The Permanent Secretary wrote to us and gave us recommendations and that was an entry point for us. But now as we were doing the work, we realised that its such a huge area that we need to be mindful of in order to properly address as may issues as we can”
