Zimbabwe Peace Project commemorated International Day of Peace on 21 September under the theme ‘ The Right to Peace-The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70’ in Chiredzi in an event attended by Chief Chilonga, 22 Headmen as well as several ward councillors. The event was also supported by the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission through the attendance of Commissioner Dr Golden Chekenyere who praised ZPP for being a fore runner in issues of peace and working well with the commission to build peace. The highlight of the day was the handing over of the goat project spearheaded by ZPP trained Peace Ambassadors to the community. By empowering communities ZPP aimed to build sustainable peace in the Chilonga community.
