In USA Njiva Charities will host Nelson Mandela at Milton A Library 5112 N 90 th street Omaha NE 68134 USA from 1pm to 3:30 pm.
The twin events done on separate boundaries will break the ground since they take a breath of annual fresh air to commemorate a laminarian Nelson Mandela who worked, suffered and strived to eradicate all forms of poverty. Tsungai Njiva is set to rotate ascending balls rolling in South Africa and USA as the events are ear-marked to relate a sophisticated issue of water-poverty in Third-World countries.
Speaking in felicity eulogy from the United States in Nebraska on WhatsApp conversations, Tsungai Njiva Founder and Director of Njiva Charities pointed out that the germinative budding organization will make it open to the public an event of annual commemoration of the greatest Pan-Africanist who liberated South Africa.
‘’Both events are open to the public. Everyone is invited to the events. There will be games, water bucket challenge demonstrative activities to educate people on how families in Third World countries face water problems.
‘’This is unique demonstration of how people in Third World countries struggle to reach out to clean water sources. This precious resource is quite a community challenge in many countries especially in Africa. ‘’
She also indicated that many people walk long distances to fetch water. In her points of view relating a true image that exists in Third World countries, she pointed out that families travel long distances to fetch water.
‘’The main objective why we are hosting this is that families in Third World countries strive and struggle to get water. This tells us that there are water challenges of which is the main reason why we have to host this on an international day honored by the world giving homage to the late great Pan-Africanist of all times Nelson Mandela of South Africa.
‘’Families represented by women at large in Third World countries travel long distances carrying water buckets. This shows us that there is water poverty in many countries. The main objective of Njiva Charities I to let the World know that there is water poverty of which we have to ameliorate so as to decrease the burden families go through’’
Tsungai Njiva whose charity organization looks also at issues of the girl child said the impact is more on many girls. These girls, she said help families before they go to school. It is a burden on their side of life because they risk raped, sexually assaulted and they end up giving hope of education. This is an impact which further worsens poverty forms in many developing countries of the World
‘’As an organization we have seen the impact since girls who travel long miles to fetch water, carry buckets of water are under severe threats of all forms of abuse especially being exposed to rape. The impact is more on these girls since they will be in school, they end up affected.’’ She concluded.
Apart from the afore-said mention of hope on water poverty relief, Tsungai has long stretch of vitiated initial plan frameworks for community development . The organization born to address several challenges has put on ground fireworks of work done to have symposiums on human trafficking, giving hope to the disadvantaged, relieving girls abused in school and sheltering mothers who face gender-based violence in community.
