Geo Pomona Waste Management Pvt Ltd has made donations to a Highfield High A-Level student by paying school fees, uniforms, and a laptop to ensure the girl child completes her studies next year.
The company’s chief executive officer and executive chairman Mr Dilesh Nguwaya said this was part of the corporate social responsibility to assist the less privileged.
Speaking during the donation handover, Mr Nguwaya said: “I met with the Harare Provincial Minister Charles Tavengwa and we agreed that we were going to help the student.
“We do a lot of corporate social responsibility and we will assist Catherine until she finishes her A-Level. It’s our pleasure to ensure that the girl child goes to school.”
Mr Nguwaya added: “We have also fixed Sawley Way Road and we painted the whole police station, we donate to the less privileged who come to us for assistance.”
Minister Tavengwa said Geo Pomona was leading by example by doing good works.
“This a good gesture not just for this year but until next year; Catherine will receive help,” he said.
The student, Catherine Rutendo Chitengu said: “My words cannot describe my gratitude to Geo Pomona Waste Management but all I can say is that I will do my best to succeed in my studies. I just pray to God to bless Geo Pomona in finances and good health.”
Catherine’s mother Cecilia Mashanda was elated.
She said she was impressed by the kind of generosity Catherine received from the company towards paying her child’s school fees and uniforms until she completes A-Level.
“I never imagined we could get this kind of help. Her cries and needs have been met. I am grateful and may God bless you.”
