Walter Musanhu the founder of Jadel Football Academy and a former Zimbabwe youth international has undertaken philanthropic work by donating field equipment and football kits to Harare High School.
To this academic institution, this donation plays a pivotal role as most students are eager to showcase their talents and skills, but sometimes it’s difficult if you don’t have resources. However, through the help of those who faced the same challenge before achieving success, it can make a difference.
A former student of Harare High, Musanhu believes there is the need to nurture talent and expose kids at a tender age to proper training methods.
Speaking after donating sports equipment and football kit, Musanhu, who led a delegation of former players and legends, felt it was his obligation together with other players to play a part in developing talent in their former schools.
“It is our obligation as former players to give back to schools that nurtured us to be where we are today and the career path that we took,” he said.
“We have made a donation of football equipment and kit to Harare High School as part of us giving back to the community and being involved in the development of the next football stars,” said Musanhu.
Musanhu stated that, through Jadel Football Academy, he has partnered with Harare High School to offer kids scholarships as they seek to give opportunities to the upcoming talent while also using football as a vehicle to fight drug and substance abuse.
