In a heartwarming display of community support, Dr. Iyvine Mlambo, Director of Salvet Agro Shop at Rutenga Growth point donated 2x 50kg bags of chicken feed and chick feeding troughs to Rutenga Primary School last Tuesday.
The donation was made during a visit to the school by Dr Mlambo, who was accompanied by his wife Shyleen Mlambo.
Rutenga Primary Head, Tenson Mukapa received the donation on behalf of the school.
“This donation is my way of giving back to the community where Salvet Agro Shop operates,” Dr. Mlambo said. “As long as our doors are open, we’ll continue to support noble initiatives in the community.”
Mukapa expressed his gratitude, noting that the donation would significantly boost the school’s chick-rearing project. The project aims to raise funds for less privileged learners struggling with school fees.
“This donation is a game-changer for our project, which aligns with the Heritage Based Curriculum’s emphasis on innovation and self-sustainability,” noted Mukapa “We’re grateful to Dr. Mlambo and his wife for their support.”
Member of the School Development Committee Chenai Sibanda praised Salvet for ploughing back to the community “On behalf of the Rutenga Community , we are humbled by this initiative by Salvet Agro Shop, we call upon other corporate players to come on board as they fulfill their social corporate responsibility,” said Chenai.
Rutenga Primary School is running a robust chick-rearing project which is earmarked to raise fees for over thirty learners who are struggling with fees payment. Well-wishers can contact the Head, Tenson Mukapa on 0772784317 to make their donations or for more information on the project.
Rutenga Primary School’s entrepreneurial spirit is evident in its thriving projects, including chick-rearing, fishery, and gardening initiatives which align with Education 5.0
