Philanthropy is not limited to financial contributions but is about investing in the future growth of communities, Acting President Dr Kembo Mohadi has said.
Dr Mohadi made the remarks yesterday in Harare while handing over buses to Highlanders Football Club, Dudley Hall Primary School and John Landa Nkomo High School on behalf of the Government.
The buses were donated as part of the philanthropic works of businessman Mr Wicknell Chivayo.
He said Mr Chivayo’s gesture demonstrated the profound impact philanthropy can have on society and served as a reminder that every citizen has a role to play in uplifting communities.
Dr Mohadi noted that the benefactor’s commitment to giving back set an inspiring example for others to follow.

The Acting President said the buses, handed over to the two schools and the football club, were more than a means of transport, but symbolised a collective commitment to the development of sport and education within communities.
“Highlanders Football Club, a name synonymous with excellence and pride, will now have enhanced mobility, allowing it to reach new heights in football and engage in broader community activities.
“John Landa Nkomo High School and Dudley Hall Primary School serve as pillars of educational development in our society.
“With these buses, we are not just facilitating transport; we are creating opportunities for our students to participate in extracurricular activities, attend educational trips and ultimately broaden their horizons.
“This generous contribution reflects the profound impact that philanthropy can have on our society. It is a reminder that each of us has a role to play in uplifting our communities.
“To Mr Wicknell Chivayo, I say, on behalf of the Government and on my own behalf, please continue with your philanthropic work, leaving no one and no place behind.”
“This commitment to giving back sets an inspiring example for others to follow. Philanthropy is not just about financial contributions; it is about investing in the future of our youth and the growth of our communities,” he said.
