The Cry of a living National Heroine Betty Jiri.To the Government of the Republic of Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans and world at large.I, Betty Jiri, the wife of the late National Hero Jairos Dambwa Jiri. Jairos dambwa Jiri traditionally married me early fifties, and we wedded on the 6th of September 1963 marriage certificate number 16360. formerly request state recognition of my wonderful works of my hands of being the first Black African woman world over to take care of persons with disabilities not related in any way at his home at a very tender age of 14 years.The establisher of the first care centre of the rehabilitation of the blind and disabled in Africa in 1958 in Nguboyenja Bulawayo at the age of 19 years.The works of careering of the person's with disabilities started in 1953 at Mzilikazi q square number 60 Bulawayo.We later moved to Makokoba Big Bar, and due to the high growth of Black persons with disabilities coming for assistance, the administration board of the city of that time, so the good works and complemented them by donating a stand in Nguboyenja and also constructed the first infrastructure to house both my family and persons with disabilities in 1958. I was the one who was the guest of honour at the groundbreaking ceremony. This care centre marked the official establishment of the centres for the care of disabled persons and blind under Jairos Jiri's centres, also known as society. The birth of Jairos Jiri Associassionly comes in 1964 with its constitution, Registered with the deeds office on 9 January 1964. The state and Zimbabweans and the World at large must take note that the Jairos Jiri association come with nothing but only come to manage the already established entities for the careering of persons with disabilities running for a period of a dacade before its establishment and also the first centre being Five years old. The founding members of Jairos Jiri Associassion were most employees of Jairos Jiri Society. This is the reason why none of them was ever honoured with any recognition as heros in any way.The state and Zimbabweans and the world at Large must also note that Jacob Mapfinya was never a co-founder of Jairos jiri centres or society. The two founders were Jairos Jiri and Betty Jiri. Jacob was actually a worker, This is why when he passed, he was never accorded any Heros Status and was buried without any National gathering and was not a National Hero. The CoFounder is only i Betty, who was the wife of Jairos Jiri. Jiri was not single, and any history that excluded the role paid by the woman is fake.The birth of all these other organisations for the care of the handicapped and disabled were just a cut and paste of my husband Jairos Dambwa Jiri and i Betty Jiri works of cooking, Bathing and General upkeep of the disabled from children with disabilities whom we took care and raised.My exclusion on Jairos Jiri Associassion Founding constitution was a deliberate attempt to cancel my national heroine status and the contribution i made to the establishment as a woman. I fought my own war of upliftment. disability recognition, Disability stima and discrimination, disability empowerment, and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in the society in the country and world at large. The whole world will celebrate this recognition.I appeal to the government and the people of this great Nation Zimbabwe to assist me with a plot in Bulawayo a Solar powered borehole whith water storage container to do horticulture Green House farming activities and Fish Farming as I have a passion for farming. I also wish to have a house built there with both Zesa and Solar system as a place for my retirement as I am old without a house to stay as I got personally nothing after my husband died as properties were distributed without even the death certificate which was issued to me in 2010 by the Departmentof home affairs 28 years after his burial. After the burial of my husband, i found my house at Nguboyenja stand my first centre empty even the household goods gone. I actually became a destitute woman after my husbandde death and lived in the streets and ended up at shelter Zimbabwe desistute home in Bulawayo. I wish to have a car to take me around as I can now hadly walk due to broken leg and old age and also attend national events as a National Heroine and also been recognised on salutations.This is my cry as a National Heroine to be recognised when I am still alive and enjoy life in my last days on this earth.Betty Jiri CoFounder of the First Society Rehabilitation Centre of the Blind and Disabled with the Late National Hero Jairos Dambwa Jiri.
