YALF Donates (Complete) Stationeries to 14 Underprivileged Pupils in Zimbabwe

On Monday - 30th of January 2017, The Young African Leaders Forum (YALF) Zimbabwean team, under the leadership of Vice President II Pafungeyi Gore, visited Tamuka Primary school -- a peri urban school located in a township on the South Eastern part of Harare Province. The school is a poorly built one, established to serve locals in the underdeveloped community.

Under our recently launched Inclusive Education Campaign (IEC), the YALF Zimbabwe Team went on to donate stationery kits to 14 underprivileged pupils; and amongst them was Nyasha Kudawanatsa - a disabled young girl who uses a wheelchair.

The YALF team went on to discuss with the school administration and noted some of their complaints -- with regards to challenges being faced by the pupils and teachers as well. This includes poorly built  infrastructure and shortage of text books, among others. Another important concern raised was about the abovementioned disabled girl child, Nyasha, whose wheelchair has become inconvenient -- due to its poor state, and can no longer suit her especially as she continues to grow up. Hence, they asked for assistance in getting Nyasha a new and modern wheel chair.

(And on behalf of Nyasha and the entire Tamuka Primary School, YALF would conduct a fundraising campaign to tackle some of these problems; where solving all is impossible. If you would like to donate to this purpose, please email us via info@yalf-africa.org).

This visit, as the first-of-its-kind, was a milestone for YALF Zimbabwe and the entire organisation, who now look forward to addressing the problems faced and continuing with the donations in the rural areas across Zimbabwe.
