Over 181 people joined ZLHR in its sponsored walks that were held in April
in Harare and Mutare. Participants who joined ZLHR secretariat and general
membership were drawn from long-standing partners within civil society, funding
partners, students and beneficiaries. The walkathons followed two different routes
that stretched for approximately 5 kilometres in the two cities. This not only presented
an opportunity for participants to shake off excess calories through exercise, but was
a great way to raise awareness of ZLHR’s work, as during the walk participants
distributed simplified flyers highlighting the organisation’s work and also displayed
banners with information and key messages on the institution’s interventions. This
walkathon was also a great way for the organisation to give back to the community,
as the proceeds were eventually donated to the Adult Rape Clinic in Harare, an
institution housed at Parirenyatwa Government Hospital which provides support to
rape victims and which was facing financial challenges. In Mutare, the money raised
during the sponsored walk was donated to Sakubva Old Peoples’ Home.
