The First Lady donated seed maize to five hundred vulnerable households in Bulawayo yesterday. The handover occurred at a government complex through the Provincial Affairs office, aimed at boosting food security and climate resilience. Officials expressed gratitude for the philanthropic gesture, calling it timely support for families facing high living costs and poor harvests.
A representative stated the donation allows households to grow their own food and redirect limited funds toward needs like education and healthcare. They framed the act as reflecting a national principle of leaving no one behind. Beneficiaries, including a member of the disabled community, thanked the First Lady for the assistance.
The event highlighted the ongoing empowerment initiatives led by the First Lady, complementing broader government programs. Officials urged recipients to use the seed productively and nurture their crops for a good harvest.
