The Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA) recently donated a solarized borehole to Munjanja Village, ward 18 in Zaka Central Constituency on February 23, 2025.
The donation came at a time when the community was in dire need of water for domestic use and animals.
Zaka District SDA Pastor Patson Magobola said the project was a reflection of the Church’s Mission to share the love of Christ through acts of service and compassion.
“As a church, we are humbled to be able to provide the solarised borehole to Munjanja community, a gift that will bring life, giving water to those who need it most.
“This project is a reflection of our Church’s mission to share the love of Christ through acts of service and compassion. We pray that this borehole will be a blessing to the Munjanja community and a reminder of God’s love and care to his people,” said Magobola.
SDA Zaka District Chairperson and Jerera Central SDA Church first Elder Euvencio Hungwe said they were moved by the biblical verse in the book of James about faith and works.
“Our Church was moved by faith and desire to serve. We were inspired by the word of God in James 2 verses 17 to 26 which says faith without works is dead. The borehole represents more than just water but hope for a brighter future, for a healthier community and hope for healthier children.
“Funds were contributed by members of the Church and we are happy because the spirit of giving has nourished our souls. Above all we hope our gesture will be a vehicle for evangelism to prepare souls for the second coming of Jesus,” said Hungwe.
Ward 18 councilor Hakufiwi Hakufiwi thanked the SDA Church for relieving the community and urged the church to expand its support to the entire constituency.
“One solarised borehole was donated to Munjanja community by Seventh Day Adventist Church after realizing serious shortage of water in the Village.
“I urge members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church not to tire and end with this but to also extent their love and support to the entire constituency,” said Hakufiwi.
Munjanja Village Head Philip Munjanja said they were happy as a community and said the donation had eased water challenges in the area.
“The church drilled 50m and we had to put an effort and paid for extra 30m to make them 80. We then got a pump, solar panels and a Jojo tank from the church and now people have clean water. We are happy and wish the church well ,” said Munjanja.
