Emirates has taken a step to support early education in Zimbabwe by donating 325 special edition backpacks and essential school supplies to two non-profit organizations. The airline provided these resources to Rose of Sharon and St Marcellins Children’s Village Trust, both dedicated to assisting financially disadvantaged youths.
Despite significant educational reforms in Zimbabwe, rural schools often lack necessary infrastructure and resources, creating disparities with urban areas. Emirates aims to bridge this gap by providing practical and stylish backpacks along with stationery supplies. This initiative is part of the airline's commitment to 'connecting communities' through meaningful contributions.
Talal Al Gergawi, Emirates' Country Manager for Zimbabwe, emphasized the importance of equipping the next generation with essential educational tools: “To provide the next generation with the essential tools to build a better future, we first must provide them the essential tools for their education."
