Marvel Acts Youth Organisation (Mayo), of Zimbabwe Trust in December joined hands with the Women of Prayer International Ministry to donate clothes and food to children at Tamuka Foundation in Kuwadzana.
Tamuka Foundation is home to over 35 underprivileged children.
Just like many organisations, the children’s home was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic which prompted Mayo to source donations.
According to Mayo founder and advisor Abel Mavura, the donation was part of their annual charity work.
“In December we managed to distribute food hampers at Tamuka Foundation as part of our charity work,” Mavura said.
“As per norm, annually Mayo hosts parties for orphans and other vulnerable children. Over the past years we have been working with Tamuka Foundation in Kuwadzana where we hosted events alongside disadvantaged children and mobilised clothes and food items for them.
“It is these little deeds that put smiles on these kids. They need to be loved and have the feeling that they are part of the society despite the predicaments they face.”
