Many war veterans throughout Zimbabwe have received new water boreholes at their homes as part of the Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme. This program helps thousands of freedom fighters access clean water through solar-powered systems installed directly on their property. The government plan also provides decent housing and solar energy systems to these veterans who fought for independence.
Several provinces, including Mashonaland East, Manicaland, Mashonaland West, Harare, and Matabeleland South, have already seen successful borehole installations. Special Presidential Adviser Dr. Paul Tungwarara leads the initiative and promises to expand it across all regions of the country. The program follows President Mnangagwa's commitment to serve every citizen regardless of location.
"We continue moving forward to reach every war veteran through this beneficial scheme," Dr. Tungwarara explained. "The President's programs remain essential for modernizing our nation and building industries everywhere." The adviser emphasized their determination to complete installations nationwide without exceptions.
Veterans have begun applying for separate financial support through the Presidential War Veterans Fund, which contains $1.5 million in revolving loans. Each province receives $150,000 to distribute among qualified applicants who submit requests through their local district offices. President Mnangagwa created this fund specifically to improve living conditions for veterans and their widows.
After establishing small businesses with these loans, recipients must pay back the borrowed money to keep the fund active for future applicants. Officials will evaluate the program regularly and may increase funding based on how faithfully borrowers repay their loans. This approach ensures more veterans can benefit from the financial assistance over time.
