Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe on Thursday handed over to Jairos Jiri a minibus acquired from contributions raised during a charity golf tournament.
In handing over the bus, POTRAZ Director General Dr Gift Machengete said the gesture went beyond merely transferring keys.
“It is a powerful testament to the impact of collective action and community-driven initiatives,” Dr Machengete said.
“While the tournament was a day filled with sport and camaraderie, it also underscored a profound purpose—leveraging our resources and networks to effect positive change in the lives of those who need it most.”
Dr Machengete expressed gratitude to the partners who participated at the Golf Tournament including Econet Wireless, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, University of Zimbabwe, TelOne, Dark Fibre Africa, ZB Bank, ZIMPOST, Powertel Communications, Compulink, Telecontract, Fedex and Dandemutande.
“As we hand over this vehicle, we are not just providing transportation; we are enhancing mobility, independence, and opportunities for the beneficiaries of the Jairos Jiri Association.
“This minibus holds immense potential for various uses that will directly benefit your organization and the communities you serve. It can be utilized for transportation to medical appointments, ensuring individuals have reliable access to essential healthcare services.
“It will facilitate educational outings, allowing trips to schools, training centres, and workshops that are vital for personal development and learning,” Dr Machengete said.
He said the minibus will be a valuable asset, helping to propel forward the vital services Jairos Jiri provides and reinforcing the sense of community that connects all.
The minibus will also support community events, providing a means to participate in local gatherings and fostering a sense of inclusion.
Additionally, it will assist in transporting necessary supplies and support materials to Jairos Jiri Centres and help Jairos Jiri pupils attend social activities and gatherings that promote interaction and integration within the community.
