The mother of the nation’s concern for the welfare of the targeted groups has seen her going around the country’s provinces donating what she would have mobilised without being selective.

“As a director of the company and an individual, I have realised that she needs help from not only myself but the country entirely so we are calling out to all those with means who can help towards the foundation to come and help.

“We have extended our hand towards the First Lady and the Foundation in view of the charity work that Amai is doing for the country. The First Lady, through her Angel of Hope Foundation, is doing a lot in uplifting the lives of unfortunate members of the society. We were touched by her ongoing programmes to assist the elderly and other vulnerable people hence our support.”

Amai Mnangagwa thanked the company for the donation saying it will go a long way as the demand for the presence of Angel of Hope is increasing countrywide.

The First Lady is on record as saying she appreciates all manner of donations because they will ease the burden of some people in the country.
