Marvelous Nakamba's exceptional charitable work in Zimbabwe continues - Birmingham Live (birminghammail.co.uk)
The Marvelous Nakamba Foundation (MNF) was formed in 2019 and aims to use the power of sport and education to give back to communities in Zimbabwe. In April of last year, The MNF announced that they had managed to pay for 1,000 school fees as parents had been struggling to cover those costs.
Nakamba has also pledged to fight against child marriages in his country, too. Earlier this week, Nakamba was present as UNICEF Zimbabwe held a press event ahead of the Day of the African Child, which lands on June 16, in Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe.
In Zimbabwe, statistics show that one in every three women aged between 20-49 years are married before the age of 18, and Nakamba is committed to fight for change. He said at the event: "I thrive to stand for what is right in society. I come from a disadvantaged background in Dhinde, Hwange, down there. I have lived in a ghetto and you know growing up, you see a lot of abnormalities going on.
"I stand for what is right and I am going to use my brand to try and help in the best way possible. Girls have been disadvantaged in society since years back and we have to fight to end that."
During the off-season, Nakamba's foundation is also sponsoring an Under-17 Invitational tournament which kicks off in Bulawayo next weekend. Nakamba's father and chairman of the MNF, Anthony Nakamba,
said at the launch of the event: "The Marvelous Nakamba Foundation was a dream that Marvelous has always had to make a positive difference in communities, especially for young people. You will all agree with me that Marvelous has profiled the country in a positive manner globally, thus making him a global sport ambassador and role model for many youths in Zimbabwe and Africa.
