BRIDGING Gaps Foundation (BGF) and the Seventh Day Adventist Church have donated goods and services worth US$500 000 to Mozambique’s Manica province to cater for people affected by natural disasters.
At the centre of the humanitarian effort was the BGF, co-founded by power couple Kudakwashe Tagwirei and Sandra Tagwirei, whose generosity and commitment to community development was widely applauded during the event.
Among the major projects unveiled during the Impact Mozambique campaign were six boreholes sunk across Manica Town, including one installed at the local prison facility, bringing access to clean and safe water to hundreds of residents. In addition, a total of 3 000 food hampers were distributed to vulnerable households as part of the humanitarian outreach program.
The education sector also benefited significantly from the initiative. Macorrea Primary School received extensive renovations including repainting, structural repairs, fencing, and the construction of ablution facilities for teachers and staff.
BGF pledged to provide 600 Pathfinder uniforms and 900 pairs of school shoes to support children within the community.
To strengthen outreach operations and mission work, four motorbikes were donated for mobility and field operations. Furthermore, Arundel Hospital partnered with the local hospital to conduct a week-long medical outreach program aimed at improving access to healthcare services for surrounding communities for free.
The major highlight of the campaign was a preventative health expo conducted by the Centre of Hope. The health initiative focused on disease prevention, lifestyle education, health screening, and wellness awareness for the community.
The outreach also extended to correctional facilities through prison ministry initiatives conducted by Corporate Chaplaincy Services. The ministry brought spiritual encouragement, counseling, and messages of hope to inmates within the local prison system.
