In a heartfelt gesture of Corporate Social Responsibility, Unicaf, in collaboration with Nedbank Zimbabwe, extended vital support to 18-year-old Nyasha Machepa, a resident of Eastview in Goromonzi. Nyasha, who is non-verbal and has limited mobility due to a condition affecting both her legs, received a much-needed wheelchair and groceries to assist with her daily life.
For years, Nyasha has faced significant challenges due to her deteriorating, damaged wheelchair, which made accessing key services, including her visits to St John’s Emerald Hill for sign language support, extremely difficult. The new wheelchair will dramatically improve her mobility and help her overcome obstacles that have significantly impacted her quality of life.
During the handover ceremony, Nyasha’s family expressed deep gratitude for the generous donation. Nyasha herself was visibly moved and brought to tears, showing how much the gift meant to her. This contribution will alleviate the physical limitations that have long been a source of hardship for her.
Unicaf, through this initiative, reinforces its commitment to addressing key issues affecting the communities where it operates. The organisation continues to seek new collaborations and partnerships to expand its impact and create opportunities for those in need. This initiative serves as a testament to Unicaf’s vibrant approach toward community enhancement, while further solidifying its position as a responsible and socially-conscious brand.
