A huge thank you to all our amazing ZLP volunteers who joined us for our 8th Anniversary Celebrations at the Zimbabwe Embassy in London on Saturday 23rd August 2025 🇿🇼🎉. Some of you even came all the way from Scotland and Bristol — your commitment truly inspires us 💚.

A special thank you goes to our Trustee, Mr Edgar Muzvidzwa, for really driving the idea forward. Edgar was the very first person to champion it, drafting the initial proposal letters and tirelessly running around in Zimbabwe to make it happen. ZLP salutes you, Edgar!

We were honoured to hear from guest speakers from the Zimbabwe Embassy, Global Health Partnership, University of Essex, and many other supporters. Together, we are building something truly special 🙌.
