PEOPLE with albinism in Chitungwiza yesterday had an early Christmas after receiving groceries from Premier Corporate Gifts which extended the gesture as part of its corporate social responsibility.
The groceries and personal care goods were handed over to the Albino Charity Organisation of Zimbabwe (Alcoz), an organisation that takes care and advocates for people with albinism.
Receiving the gifts, Alcoz executive director, Loveness Mainato, said the donation would go a long way in easing the lives of people with albinism given the various challenges they face.
She said the donation would significantly impact the lives of those living with albinism, many of whom face daily challenges due to stigma and limited resources.
“This gesture is more than just material support, it is a sign of care and recognition of the struggles faced by the albinism community," Mainato said.
"The groceries and personal items will go a long way in making this festive season brighter for many families. We are deeply grateful to Premier Corporate Gifts for thinking of us."
Premier Corporate Gifts’ managing director, Betty Mpala, highlighted the company’s commitment to giving back to the community, particularly marginalised groups.

“This donation is a testament to the power of partnership and the positive change that comes when organisations prioritise social responsibility. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive society,” she said.
