The home of bumper harvest Seed Co continues to transform the lives of vulnerable communities following the donation of US$9 060 to two homes last week Friday as part of its celebration for its 85th anniversary.
The amount of US$4 530 was donated to Mutemwa Leprosy Centre in Mutoko and another US$4 530 to Ida Wekwako Old People’s Home in Marondera.
The funds were raised last year on Seed Co Annual Golf Day which was held at Borrowdale Brooke Golf Estate in Harare.
Over 33 golfers took part in the event.
“The Seed Co annual golf day is a key calendar event where we play with a purpose to raise funds for the two homes and the company matches, so that the amount that we do donate is bigger,” Seed Co Public Relations Officer Patience Phiri said.
“Seed Co has got a footprint in 19 countries in Africa, we believe that doing good is always a good business and which is why we will continue to serve in the communities that we are in.”
Speaking at the donation ceremony, Mutemwa Leprosy Centre administrator Acquinamary Guri paid tribute to the Seed Co Company.
“I want to express our deep appreciation to the Seed Co, your support have been crucial in making our lives easy. We thank you for standing with us, promoting the growth of our community. Seed Co visits us after every three months just to check on us, we are grateful for the donation,” she said.
