MUSTARD Seed Communities Zimbabwe, an orphanage on the outskirts of Bulawayo, has received a washing machine and dryer with a combined value $2 400 from Homelink Zimbabwe.
Speaking at the ceremony Homelink chief executive officer, Mr Allan Choruma said supporting children in their development would secure the future of the nation.
"There is a need to be dedicated in supporting the children in their development, because these children are going to grow up and be leaders of tomorrow. If we do not look after children and the less privileged the country will not go forward in its socio-economic development," he said.
Mr Choruma commended the caregivers at the home for looking after the children.
Homelink director, Dr Eric Bloch, echoed the same sentiments, saying the children were the future of the country and it was important for all people to support them.
"They are our future and the future belongs to them," he said.
The board member of the orphanage, Mr Andrew Phiri, said it was refreshing to note that Homelink was the biggest local donor. He said they were grateful for the support.
Mr Phiri appealed to the relevant organisations to assist the home as they had more children attending school in the coming year, which would stretch their budget.
