ZDF Enhances Education Infrastructure with New Classroom Block at Warren Park Primary School 

Harare – Warren Park Six Primary School has become the latest beneficiary of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) Community Assistance Week, receiving a modern double-storey classroom block to alleviate overcrowding and improve learning conditions. The handover ceremony, held this Wednesday, underscores the military’s commitment to national development and community support in line with Vision 2030.

Key Developments
