The Harare Youth Transporters Association (HAYTA) has provided school fees, uniforms, and stationery to vulnerable families in Harare as part of its corporate social responsibility programme.
The donation, made yesterday at Market Square rank, benefited eight families and 20 learners from both primary and secondary schools.
HAYTA Chairman, Edmore Tirivanhu Gwengwe said the initiative is part of the association’s annual charity activities aimed at supporting disadvantaged communities.
“Education remains a key pillar of the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), and as Zimbabweans we all have a responsibility to support the national vision so that no one and no place is left behind,” he said.
Gwengwe added that HAYTA is committed to complementing government efforts to achieve Vision 2030. Beyond education, the association also advocates for a drug- and substance-abuse-free society, particularly within the transport sector and among vulnerable communities.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the assistance. Tendai Moyo said the support eased a heavy financial burden on her family.
“This came at the right time when we were struggling to raise school fees. Our children can now attend school without worry,” she said.
Another beneficiary, Joseph Chikomba, said the donation would help ensure children from disadvantaged backgrounds are not left behind.
“We are thankful to HAYTA for remembering families like ours. This support gives our children hope and motivation to focus on their education,” he said. The initiative highlights HAYTA’s ongoing commitment to community development and social responsibility, underscoring the role of private organisations in supporting education and promoting safe, healthy communities
