Shot in the arm for Harare Children’s Home

News
The Children’s Home appealed for assistance from well-wishers, touching the heart of Chantelle Muteswa, the founder of Ibwe-Imbokodo who responded by donating 40 pairs of shoes and 40 school bags to assist the vulnerable children.  

Ibwe_Imbokodo Women's Trust, a non-governmental organisation that fights for the rights of marginalised women and abused children, has donated shoes and school bags to Harare Children’s Home.

Orphans at the shelter were left without belongings after an inferno tore apart the center’s two-story building on August 17.

The orphanage is situated in Harare’s Eastlea suburb.

The Children’s Home appealed for assistance from well-wishers, touching the heart of Chantelle Muteswa, the founder of Ibwe-Imbokodo who responded by donating 40 pairs of shoes and 40 school bags to assist the vulnerable children.  

Muteswa said: “Women and children remain vulnerable within society and face perilous situations that should not be ignored. Joint efforts must be made to ameliorate the plight of women and children. This is in line with our vision as an organization and we hope to continue to do more within the community at large.”

Handing over the donation to the home on behalf of Ibwe-Imbokodo, Elijah Lincoln said he was pleased to have handed over the donation to the underprivileged.

Harare Children’s Home secretary Kumbirai Tipedze said the donation was timely and will go a long way in assisting the disadvantaged children. 

“On behalf of the Harare Children’s Home, we appreciate this wonderful contribution coming  during these difficult times. This help will go a long way and hope you will come again,” Tipedze said.

“We hope this is the beginning of a long relationship between the Harare Children’s Home and Ibwe Imbokodo.”

Ibwe-Imbokodo was formed in 2019 to prevent and eradicate abuse and victimization against women and children.

The lobby group also provides psychological support to victims in its fight against any form of victimization including segregation, Gender-Based Violence, sexual abuse, early marriages and other social misnomer practices.
