This year saw MyBucks’ commence its first CSR initiative
in Zimbabwe. It was held at Seke Rural Home Based Care
(SRHBC) facility, a Zimbabwean registered NGO, which was
founded in January 2001 as a response to the HIV and
AIDS pandemic.
SRHBC identified 30 double orphans from the most
vulnerable child-headed families where children have
been looking after their own siblings and are affected
and infected by HIV and AIDS.
As a way of giving back, 14 MyBucks staff handed over
hampers to the SRHBC, consisting of blankets, basic food
essentials and school stationery. The day was also spent
having lunch with the children and interacting with them.
The event was covered by press and on national TV.
Going forward, GetBucks Zimbabwe will be identify and
partner with a school to start a long-term relationship to
improve the lives of the youth of Zimbabwe.
“We strongly believe in partnering with our community and as indicated in the bible, ‘it is a blessing to
give than to receive’. We hope this donation will go a long way in sustaining the children’s livelihood.”

The MyBucks team kicked off the start of a long-term
CSR initiative this year when they visited the Our Lady of
Nazareth Primary School in the Mukuru Slums in Nairobi
and spent the morning with the children.
This facility serves as both a school and an orphanage. They
have 2 400 pupils of which 300 children have physically
disabilities. The MyBucks team provided each child with a
meal and some treats.
“It is so humbling to be able to spend time with those less fortunate than ourselves and put a
smile of the face of so many children. It was a great experience to be able to make a difference in
the community.”
