Recent developments provide a substantial boost for cancer patients, especially children, in Zimbabwe through the collaborative efforts of two banks and a major supermarket. They have donated chemotherapy drugs and financial resources to support two cancer care organizations, ensuring that vital treatments are available for those in need.
During the handover ceremony, CABS Chief Financial Officer Valerie Muyambo noted the severe emotional and financial challenges that cancer poses for Zimbabwean families. She emphasized the vital role that organizations like KidzCan play in offering essential medication and support to affected children and their families.
This donation marks the second consecutive year of partnership between CABS and TM Pick n Pay in combating childhood cancer. Their successful February campaign enabled CABS to donate $30,000 for chemotherapy drugs based on transactions made with CABS POS machines at TM Pick n Pay locations.
Muyambo highlighted the significance of a collaborative approach alongside TM Pick n Pay, stating their combined efforts could profoundly impact children battling cancer. In addition, TM Pick n Pay CFO Gamu Nyamuzinga announced a donation of $80,000 in drugs, comprising $50,000 from TM Pick n Pay and $30,000 from CABS, aimed at providing necessary chemotherapy treatments.

Meanwhile, First Capital Bank CEO Tapera Mushoriwa reiterated the bank’s commitment to enhancing cancer care in their community at a separate donation event.
Cancerserve Trust representative Anna Nyakabau called for unified efforts from various organizations to strengthen support for cancer treatment and care across Zimbabwe. Her comments underscore the need for ongoing collaboration in the fight against the disease.
In conclusion, the substantial donations from CABS, TM Pick n Pay, and First Capital Bank significantly bolster the support available to cancer patients in Zimbabwe, particularly for children facing treatment challenges. By fostering collaborations among banks and organizations, these efforts not only provide essential chemotherapy drugs but also enhance overall welfare through additional financial support initiatives. Moving forward, continued partnerships are vital in improving cancer care and addressing the emotional and financial burdens faced by families affected by cancer in Zimbabwe.
