Paratus Telecom Zambia has shown its support for girls’ health needs and welfare by holding a business card raffle at the South Africa Business Forum Golf Day. The raffle and other events during the golf day were aimed at raising donations to support the health and well-being of girls in a project undertaken by the South African High Commission in Zambia.
The raffle for the tournament conducted at Lusaka Golf Club provided companies with the opportunity to win prizes and showcase their businesses as well as to ‘club together’ and network with others. “This is a great opportunity for companies to network whilst also contributing towards the awareness of healthy development of children, especially girls, in Zambia,” said Marius van Vuuren, Country Manager of Paratus Telecom Zambia.

Paratus Zambia also sponsored a hole at the golf tournament, where all donations raised went towards supporting a charitable project chosen by Sikose Mji, the South African High Commissioner to Zambia, who has acquired a reputation for spotting other peoples’ needs and helping them in communities around Zambia.
The South African High Commission in Zambia, or SABF, took the decision to support Ms Mji in the venture, as her project involves supplying Zambian girls with washable sanitary pads, which is a huge problem for many girls and considered a highly worthy cause to support.
“It is important to support such a cause especially as it creates awareness for hygiene and health amongst girls here in Zambia,” added Mr van Vuuren of Paratus Telecom Zambia. “Due to the generosity of many companies who participated and made it a successful event, we were able to make a significant difference in the interest of children to live a healthier life.”
