MARAH PRIMARY SCHOOL: BRINGING EDUCATION CLOSER TO OUR CHILDREN
Yesterday, we were in Marah, Ward 8C, where Hon. Brian Mudumi was represented by Cde Mutizwa, engaging with community members and learners from Bikita Minerals Primary, Mutendi Primary, Shenjere Primary and Bumba Primary School in Gutu.
For many children from Marah, accessing education has meant walking approximately 8 kilometres to school and another 8 kilometres back home each day. This long journey has placed a considerable burden on learners, taking valuable time and energy that could otherwise be dedicated to learning.
The completion of Marah Primary School is therefore a significant development for the community. Once officially opened, the school will bring education closer to children in Marah, substantially reducing the distances they have had to travel and providing them with a more accessible learning environment.
As part of the education support initiative, more than 5,000 books were donated, ensuring that learners have essential learning materials, alongside 200 pairs of school shoes to support their participation and school experience.
We also extended support to elderly citizens and persons with disabilities, distributing approximately 60 blankets and mosquito nets to community members aged 70 and above. The items were received from Ding Zhou.
These interventions reflect the broader vision of President Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030—bringing development closer to communities, improving livelihoods and ensuring that no one and no place is left behind.
