THE Chinese embassy has rehabilitated Hossana Love in Africa Children’s Home, in Harare.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhou Ding said the embassy would continue to help disadvantaged communities in the country.

“I feel so proud that with the help of the Chinese embassy and the Chinese community, the children’s home has achieved remarkable progress with a growing number of children benefiting from the facilities and enjoying their childhood here,” Zhou said.

“I am particularly happy with the news that some of the boys and girls from here went to university for higher education and many have started to give back to society as grown-ups.”

The embassy has been providing continuous assistance to the children’s home  by renovating facilities, upgrading water and electricity supply systems and donating daily necessities, among others.

Zhou said Chinese relations with Zimbabwe extended beyond political, economic and trade co-operation.

“In the past years, the Chinese government has funded numerous livelihood projects including building schools, hospitals, stadiums, libraries and drilling boreholes,” he said.

“Just in a few days the World Children’s Day will be celebrated on November 20. As we celebrate Children’s Day, let us continue our work to care for our children and pledge together to be the guardians of our children’s dreams, the mentors of their aspirations and the nurturers of their potential.”
