Trust teams up with Polish business community to empower communities

The Roots Voluntary Charity Organisation (Trovoco) which is a prominent charitable organisation based in Bulawayo has forged a pioneering alliance with the Polish business community and the Siewca Foundation.

According to officials, the objective of this collaboration is to instigate positive change and uplift rural communities in Zimbabwe through a series of impactful solar-powered borehole drilling projects.

Projects manager Nkosinomusa Sibanda emphasised Trovoco's commitment to serving and assisting communities across the country through both local and international partnerships saying: "This time around, we're focusing on drilling boreholes in rural schools and communities with the assistance of our donors from the Siewca Foundation and partners from the Polish business community.”

The partnership with the Siewca Foundation, founded in Poland by Tomasz Błaszak, brings invaluable experience and expertise to the endeavor, ensuring the effective implementation of initiatives in alignment with the government's Vision 2030. This collaboration particularly supports the government's priority of providing clean water sources in urban and rural areas, essential for sustainable development and public health.

Expressing gratitude for the support received, Sibanda acknowledged the contributions of Agnieszka Zyzman, a longstanding friend who facilitated strong relationships with the Polish community. Through these connections, Tro has been able to donate school supplies and food items to various communities and schools in Zimbabwe, advancing sustainable developmental projects for the benefit of young children.

Sukoluhle Moyo, the headmistress of Mucklenuck, a primary school located in Nyathi, Bubi District in the Matabeleland North province highlighted the significant benefits of the borehole project for rural communities, including access to clean water, improved infrastructure, educational opportunities, and economic empowerment. She emphasised the practical advantages such as enabling fish and vegetable projects and ensuring children have easy access to safe water without challenges. — Staff Writer.
