Para 1.20 | The charity has had a successful 2025. Starting with receiving football kits and sports equipment donations, shipping the donations to Zimbabwe and being able to travel to Zimbabwe to distribute the donations in person as the chair of the foundation. However, throughout the year we managed to hold games including football, basketball, volleyball and making sure the “girl” child is also our priority in whatever we do with our cluster of schools in Zimbabwe. So far, our biggest achievement as a foundation was taking UK students on a cultural exchange trip to Africa Zimbabwe in 2018.
