KidzCan Zimbabwe has received us$500 from Westridge High School Interact Club, money raised through various activities during Orange Month.

On Orange Day, children attend school wearing orange and bring a donation that goes towards the treatment of paediatric cancer sufferers and their families.

On behalf of KidzCan Zimbabwe and the children in hospital A4 Special Ward go and thank your parents for contributing for a worthy cause,” said Kawadza.

The Interact Club Spokesperson Adiel Bvepfepfe said they were happy to make a difference through the donation.

“We are so grateful as Westridge High Interact Club for getting the opportunity to make a difference by coming to share our love to KidzCan Zimbabwe.

KidzCan provides different services that include clinical care, advocacy and case management.

Provision of transport allowances is another critical service that ensures patients do not default on treatment.
