Vanobva KwaMunyikwa Development Trust (VAMDET) a charity organization donated two wheelchairs to Moreblessing Matoto (9) and Shumo Mutukwa (72) on November 6, 2020 in Munyikwa area of Gutu.
VAMDET is a registered community development trust and non-profit making organization operating in the Munyikwa and surrounding areas, funded through membership contributions as well as well-wishers.
Watson Chatiza, the founder of VAMDET said the organization gave Mutukwa and Matoto wheelchairs because they had been facing challenges when they want to move around.
“We decided to give wheelchairs to Mutukwa, who had been using crutches and Mutoto who could not walk as she spends the whole day lying down. We gave them these wheelchairs because we noticed that it was difficult for them to move around.
“I want to thank all those who partner with us to look after the vulnerable. May the Lord bless you and l hope you will continue to support us,” said Chatiza.
Mutukwa was grateful for the wheelchair that he got from VAMDET saying he used to face challenges whenever he wanted to move around.
“I am the happiest person today. Thank you so much for the wheelchair that you gave me. It was difficult for me to travel long distances using crutches but since I have a wheelchair now, it’s now easy,” Mutukwa said.
Mutukwa was using crutches and it was difficult for him to travel long distances.
Matoto, who is paralyzed cannot do anything on her own and will be lying down most of the time.
Chatiza said she will now be able to play with others and move around.
VAMDET is also looking for financial assistance to help Tsitsi Mutambi who has albinism while at the same time suffering from cancer.
He said they want to go with her to private doctors since they tried Karanda Hospital but nothing materialized.
They also tried Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals and they were given December 6 as visiting day.
