This Friday, October 10, Irvine’s celebrated the 29th Anniversary of World Egg Day at the Danhiko Project in Harare. Every year, the poultry company commemorates this special day through donations, and this year they chose to spend the day with students at Danhiko.
For the past 10 years, Irvine’s has consistently supported the Danhiko Project with donations of eggs and chickens, cementing a relationship that goes beyond business into community upliftment.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Witness Magulula, Director of the Danhiko Project, expressed his gratitude:
“We cherish this moment together with our students and the Irvine’s team. We are thankful for the consistent donations that continue to make a difference in the lives of our students.”
This year’s celebrations saw 3,600 eggs donated to the institution. Students at Danhiko showcased their appreciation through vibrant performances, including poetry, songs, and traditional dances dedicated to Irvine’s.

Wilfred Marerwa, Sales and Operations Executive at Irvine’s, highlighted the significance of eggs in uniting communities:
“Irvine’s has been the leading supplier of eggs in Zimbabwe for over six decades. Today, we are celebrating unity because, from all walks of life, we are united by eggs. Most bakery products, such as cakes and bread, require eggs. Eggs unite us in health because they are highly nutritious. They are more than just a source of food, they unite communities through supply chains, from farmers to consumers.”
He added, “On behalf of Irvine’s, I would like to thank the Danhiko Project for allowing us to share what Irvine’s is doing in the community, supporting farmers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. We promise to continue with our donations to this institution.”
Also speaking at the event, Margarete Mbizvo, Vice Chairperson of the Danhiko Board of Trustees, applauded Irvine’s for its generosity, “We deeply appreciate Irvine’s for the continuous support. The donations go a long way in supporting our students, and we value this longstanding partnership.”
The event not only celebrated the nutritional and economic importance of eggs but also reinforced the bond between Irvine’s and the Danhiko Project, a partnership rooted in compassion, nourishment, and community unity.
