NFT DONATES LEARNING MATERIALS TO SUPPORT HEARING-IMPAIRED LEARNERS AT ST CHRISTOPHER’S PRIMARY
Staff Reporter
Gwanda – In a demonstration of its commitment to inclusive education, Nkomwa Foundation Trust (NFT) last Tuesday donated an assortment of learning materials to the hearing impairment class at St Christopher’s Primary School in Gwanda urban.
The donation, which included exercise books, art supplies, stationery, and play materials, was carefully selected to support both the academic and creative development of children with hearing impairments.
From writing and maths books to crayons, rulers, glue, and building blocks, the resources are expected to enhance classroom activities and create a more engaging learning environment.
NFT Director, Mr. Pick Nkomwa, said the gesture was part of the organisation’s broader mission to empower children with disabilities and ensure they are not left behind in education.

“True wealth isn’t measured in what you own — it’s measured in who you impact,” he said. “At the end of the day, people won’t remember the numbers in your accounts, but the difference you made in their hearts. Legacy is built through love, service, and the lives you touch. Whose life can you invest in today to leave a legacy that matters?”
St Christopher’s Primary School is one of the few institutions in the region catering specifically for children with hearing impairments, yet learners with disabilities struggle with shortages of learning materials.
NFT’s intervention is therefore seen as a timely boost for teachers and learners striving to overcome barriers to inclusive education.
Since its establishment, NFT has been at the forefront of advocating for the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities, running programmes that range from disability awareness campaigns to direct material support.
The latest donation reinforces its philosophy of building inclusive communities where children with special needs are given equal opportunities to thrive.
With support from NFT, learners at St Christopher’s can now look forward to a brighter and more engaging classroom experience — a small but significant step in building a legacy of inclusion.
