Manufacturing concern LaFarge Cement Zimbabwe hosted a Run For A Good Cause on Saturday at Belgravia Sports Club.
The annual event was developed during the Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe Health and Safety Days, a period when the LafargeHolcim group across the world celebrates our overarching value, Health and Safety.
It promotes physical wellness as a key pillar for health and safety.
In contributions LaFarge said:
- We recognise that the prevailing economic situation has left many grandparents saddled with the responsibility of caring for young children of school- going age.
- We therefore selected these two vulnerable groups as the beneficiaries of the 2017 Run for a Good Cause by purchasing blankets for the elderly and school shoes for pupils in primary school.
- Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe procured 150 blankets and 200 pairs of school shoes.
- With the support of our contractors, suppliers and customers, a total of 416 blankets and 351 pairs of school shoes have been purchased.
- Furthermore, the employees of Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe conducted a clothes drive to collect previously loved clothes to help orphans in Mabvuku and Tafara to stay warm this chilly winter.
Organisations that were beneficiaries were:
- Mavambo Orphan Care (Clothes Drive)
- St Joseph’s Primary School
- St Peter Claver Primary School
- Mabvuku Social Services Department
