Hopely in fight for better health facilities

Restless Development yesterday in Hopely hosted an event which was met with celebrations among the residents of Hopely and the surrounding areas. The event gathered various organizations which focuses on sexual reproductive health and rights issues such as Family Support Trust,  Chiedza Care Trust, Zichire, National Aids Council Young People's Network and One Africa Trust.

These organizations offered various services which includes free information dissemination about sexual reproductive health rights, family planning and projects planning. Other organizations such as One Africa Trust took the opportunity to show case their products which they are making out of their projects such as soaps and their projects as well.

However, this has not been enough to the residents of Hopely since the event was for a single day yet they are crying for better health services day and night. If the truth is to be told, Hopely is at craving for better health facilities. This community is depending on one council clinic for affordable health services and private clinics which are becoming unaffordable to access health services as compared to the government or council clinics for example HIV testing is costing a dollar or more yet in council clinics it's for free.

Despite the construction of the another council clinic which is underway, the residents of Hopely of needs health facilities which are reliable and affordable so that they can have access to health services on regular basis rather than depending on one council clinic of which it is small to cater for everyone in Hopely especially during the times of outbreak diseases.

Some people travel long distance to reach the local council clinic which is affordable and some they depends on mobile clinics which usually come with time to access services like HIV testing and family planning. However, the problem remains the same since these mobile clinics do not last for a long period of time.

The residents of Hopely stayed under fear of outbreak diseases such as cholera, typhoid and malaria because there is no proper sanitation and water regulation hence residents are ending up using contaminated water sources.

Indeed, the lives of the residents of Hopely is under a threat due to lack of regular, reliable, affordable and nearby health facilities and services.

Dynamos FC: A Fallen Giant

  The Struggles of Dynamos FC: A Fallen Giant For decades, Dynamos Football Club affectionately known as “Dembare” has been Zimbabwe’s pride, a symbol of resilience and footballing excellence. Their blue jersey, once synonymous with victory and legendary comebacks, now hangs heavy on the shoulders of players and supporters alike. This season, the echoes in Rufaro Stadium are not the jubilant chants of old, but anxious murmurs and, at times, angry protests. The cause? A string of poor performances, all tracing back to the heart of the club, its crumbling management. From Glory to Gloom, The Glamour Boys were not just a team, they were a movement. Generations grew up idolizing the likes of George Shaya, Moses Chunga, and Memory Mucherahohwa amoung other best players. But as the years rolled on, the club’s leadership failed to keep up with the changing times. Mismanagement seeped in, questionable transfer decisions, unpaid player salaries, and a lack of investment in youth develo...
