Green Light International Trust has brought renewed hope and dignity to people living with disabilities in Zvimba North, Mashonaland West, following the donation of wheelchairs and crutches to members of the differently-abled community.
The donation, which took place recently, forms part of the trust’s ongoing efforts to support and empower vulnerable communities across Zimbabwe.
In many rural areas, access to mobility aids remains limited, often confining people with disabilities to their homes and restricting their participation in social and economic life. Green Light International Trust’s intervention seeks to bridge this gap and restore independence.
Beneficiaries, many of whom had endured years of mobility challenges, expressed joy and relief as they received the much-needed assistive devices.
The wheelchairs and crutches are expected to significantly improve their quality of life, enabling them to move around with greater ease and confidence.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Green Light International Trust founder and director, Tawanda Makwiramiti, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to inclusivity and dignity for people living with disabilities.
“At Green Light International Trust, we believe every individual deserves to live with dignity and respect, regardless of physical ability,” Makwiramiti said.
“We are delighted to make a tangible difference in the lives of these community members and hope our actions inspire others to join us in creating positive change.”
