ZimNow News Desk

Good news for families in Harare. The City of Harare, working together with ZB Bank and the United Nations Population Fund, has started a new health plan to help poor people get treatment at council clinics.

Mayor Jacob Mafume said the fund will help the poor and those working in the informal sector. UNFPA said it is about giving families hope and a healthier future.

Extra Benefit – Funeral Cover

If you want, you can also add funeral insurance for only 50 cents per month, and when a member dies, the family will get US$1,000 cash.
