The Lake Harvest Kariba Challenge

The Lake Harvest Kariba Challenge

Those of you that decided to drive down to Kariba over the Heroes weekend must, surely, have noticed the beautiful vegetation along the side of the road between Makuti and Kariba – all the Mopani trees showing off their Spring colours – ochres, oranges, reds and greens. I was up there for a couple of days and took time out along the way to “stop and smell the roses” – unbelievable quiet with trees shining in the hazy view.

The Heroes weekend is, of course, that time of the year when athletes head off to Lomagundi Lakeside along with their families to participate in the Kariba half marathon (21km) or 10km run/walk. This event is sponsored by Lake Harvest and proceeds go towards the Kariba Animal Welfare Fund Trust, the Tony Waite Foundation & the Greendale Senior Citizens Trust.

Tony Waite Organisation

Tony Waite Organisation is a private voluntary organisation which operates in 9 wards of Kariba Urban and peri urban. The organisation spills its services and activities to Nyaminyami Rural district and fishing camps where people are separated from service providers by large body of water in Lake Kariba. Tony Waite Organisation envisions an empowered, knowledgeable society where people can support each other in HIV AIDS, non-communicable and life threatening conditions as well as other developmental issues. The organisation offers OVC programs, HIV programming, women and girls emancipation projects and palliative care services.
The organisation coordinates with other local stakeholders in service provision as well as to enable effective and efficient information flow between stakeholders for joint program formulation and implementation to ensure program sustainability and best results. Economic empowerment of vulnerable groups of people has also remained the vision of the organisation and to date the organisation is supporting a plethora of income generating projects namely piggery project, bread baking project, goat rearing project, reusable sanitary wear pad production, chicken rearing project and the nutritional gardens which aims to enhance nutrition and income if there is surplus for sale.
The proceeds of the Lake Harvest Kariba Challenge contribute to all these valuable projects.
