ELECTRONIC fund switch, ZimSwitch Technologies, last week partnered with KidzCan Zimbabwe for the Victory Lap, a community initiative dedicated to raising awareness and support for children battling cancer.
KidzCan serves children and families affected by cancer as well as communities throughout Zimbabwe
This initiative highlights Zimswitch’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, which prioritise community health, inclusion, and well-being.
The victory Lap event, held on September 7 and drew participants from across the country, successfully raised funds and awareness for KidzCan Zimbabwe.
All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting children with cancer through medical aid and advocacy efforts.
ZimSwitch chief executive officer Mr Zabron Chilakalaka said his company believed that a truly inclusive and resilient economy begins with a healthy society.
“Our support for KidzCan Zimbabwe is not just corporate philanthropy; it is a reflection of our core values.
“By participating in the Victory Lap, we helped shine a light on the realities of childhood cancer and extended meaningful support to the children and families affected,” said Mr Zabron Chilakalaka.
Zimswitch head legal and company secretary, Mr Pardon Magaya, said the company was proud to contribute to a cause that brings hope and strengthens the nation’s social fabric through the Environmental, Social and Governance framework, focusing on health equity and opportunity.
“Supporting children with cancer is a natural extension of our mission to empower every Zimbabwean. Our ESG framework goes beyond financial inclusion; it embraces health equity and opportunity.
“We are proud to contribute to a cause that brings hope where it’s needed most and strengthens the social fabric of our nation,” he said.
KidzCan Zimbabwe’s finance and administration manager, Mr Gift Marunda, said Zimswitch’s support was crucial in enhancing its mission to provide essential services that support children with cancer.
