» In recent years the Bumhudzo Home for the Elderly has struggled to remain operational. When Mr Tendai Mupfurutsa, CEO of Ekhaya, heard about Bumhudzo’s financial challenges, he devised a plan to temporarily adopt the centre and cover the majority of its expenses.
“It is important that we look after the elderly members of our communities,” he said. “People should grow old with comfort and dignity.” Ekhaya Petroleum has agreed to cover the medical, salary and food expenses of the centre from March to September.
In addition to Ekhaya’s commitment, Aquasafe has agreed to cover the expenses from September to February 2009, and then Bosstan Trucking will cover the next six months.
“We are so grateful for the support of Ekhaya Petroleum and its business partners,” said Major Spiwe Chirandu, Bumhudzo’s Administrator. “They have done a wonderful thing for the elderly.”
