THE ZIMBABWE PRISONS AND CORRECTIONAL SERVICES

Our contribution within Chikurubi Female Prison would not have been possible without the blessing, facilitation and cooperation from the Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Services. We are very grateful for the opportunities to learn and serve in our own small way by the ZPCS. Our experience has been nothing but admirable. Through our interactions with the ZPCS, we truly believe that their mantra of having an “Open door policy” is a very real and true one. We have always been welcomed as one of the numerous stakeholders that are willing to assist.

NYARADZO GROUP

This a successful dynamic group of companies that provides financial, insurance, risk and event management. They have their own prolific philanthropic profile. They still chose to support us, immensely, every time we hosted a meal at the Chikurubi Female Prison. They made our very first Christmas Luncheon a resounding with beautiful marquees and deco as well as entertainment for the inmates and staff. This remains one of the most heart warming and memorable events that we have hosted at the facility to date.
