By A Correspondent- First lady Auxilia Mnangagwa has revealed that a number of street children are set to be relocated to Chambuta Children’s Home in Chiredzi after they agreed to abandon street life.

Said Mnangagwa in a facebook post:

“Every society needs children because they are our hope and future. Every child deserves education and life opportunities and as a nation we cannot fully develop if we turn a blind eye to marginalised children.

In 2019, through the Angel of Hope Foundation I made a pledge to create lasting positive change for children living on the streets. We are transforming lives of hundreds of children living on the streets by seeing to their basic needs such as shelter, food and skills training among others.

Yesterday, working together with the Department of Social Welfare, we counselled some children living on the streets in Harare who have agreed to abandon life on the streets and be rehabilitated at Chambuta Children’s Home in Chiredzi.

The true measure of any nation’s humanity is how it treats the most vulnerable among them. Marginalised children are our children and we should not leave them behind
