NetOne listens, answers call for help

Donations by corporates and developmental partners towards alleviating the cholera epidemic seem to have yielded results, with the number of cases gradually declining since government declared the outbreak a state of emergency early last month.

Speaking at the handover ceremony of donations towards the cholera epidemic held in Budiriro, NetOne marketing and public relations executive, Eldrette Shereni said her organisation listened to the call and joined the war against cholera through donating bulk safe water, water tanks, pipes, installing taps, hand sanitisers, water guard and exercise books to affected communities.

“We believe that what we are doing will go a long way in complementing the fight against the spread of water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid that are directly linked to hygiene and a clean environment,” said Shereni.
