The Posts and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) has donated 10 paediatric wheelchairs for children with cerebral palsy and 5 standard wheelchairs to St Giles Rehabilitation Centre.
Speaking during the presentation of the wheelchairs, Potraz director general, Gift Machengete, described St Giles Rehabilitation Centre as a beacon of hope and healing for countless Zimbabweans with disabilities.
“The wheelchairs we are presenting today were procured through proceeds from the Potraz Charity Golf Tournament, an annual event.
“By handing over these fifteen wheelchairs, we are not simply donating assistive devices; we are restoring mobility, independence, and dignity. For some, these wheelchairs will mean the ability to attend school.
“For others, they will provide easier access to therapy, healthcare, and social activities. Above all, they symbolize hope — the hope for a more inclusive society where every individual can move, participate, and thrive without limitation,” Machengete said.
St Giles’ director Abel Marize thanked Potraz and its partners for the act of kindness, which he said was a source of hope and encouragement for the institution.
“Your support reminds us that we are not alone. From all of us at St Giles thank you for standing with us,” Mazire said.
