MUTOKO- At the International Rural Women’s Day celebrations held at Chiutsi Secondary School in Mutoko, Mbijana Mbichana Funeral Service reaffirmed its commitment to providing affordable funeral cover to Zimbabwe’s underprivileged, particularly rural women.

The company’s name, “Mbijana Mbichana,” translates to “bit by bit we will get there,” reflecting its dedication to gradual, meaningful progress in serving vulnerable communities.

Minister of Women Affairs, Monica Mutsvangwa, visited the Mbijana Mbichana stand, where she received a briefing from Mr. Wonder Mazhambe on the company’s operations. As she listened intently, her passion for women’s affairs was evident, and she nodded in agreement, clearly pleased with Mbijana Mbichana’s initiatives. After the briefing, Minister Mutsvangwa commended Mbijana Mbichana for its tailored premiums supporting rural women with limited savings.

Mbijana Mbichana’s affordable services significantly impact rural women struggling with low incomes. Notably, despite offering remarkably low premiums, the company delivers exceptional funeral services, ensuring dignity and compassion for grieving families. As a subsidiary of Evolution Health and Life Assurance, Mbijana Mbichana leverages its extensive network of branches nationwide to provide comprehensive support.

By providing affordable funeral cover, Mbijana Mbichana ensures rural women can honor their loved ones with dignity, promoting social responsibility and alleviating financial burdens.

This initiative aligns with the government’s Vision 2030 target of achieving an upper-middle-income economy by 2030. Mbijana Mbichana contributes to Zimbabwe’s social development and economic growth.

The company’s commitment showcases the private sector’s crucial role in supporting the government’s vision. By providing affordable funeral cover, Mbijana Mbichana promotes dignity, alleviates financial burdens, and contributes to social development.

Partnerships between government, private sector, and community organizations will be vital as Zimbabwe strives for upper-middle-income status. Mbijana Mbichana’s commitment serves as a model for collaborative efforts improving rural women’s lives and contributing to economic development.
