Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75629, member: 636"] Andrew Makahamadze scored the Kiran Jack Floating Trophy for actually doing stuff in his Southerton constituency instead of just talking about it. The award honors people who quietly help communities out, and Makahamadze apparently helped over 100,000 women and young people start chicken farming businesses while also launching a water tank company to deal with Harare's constant shortages. Maya Jack from the award committee said the guy partnered with local businesses to get these poultry projects rolling and defended smallholder farmers when some church tried bulldozing their vegetable gardens. He also got medical equipment for Mbare Clinic and pushed interest-free loans for struggling vendors, with most of the help going to women trying to rebuild their businesses after the pandemic wrecked everything.
