A Zimbabwean Motocross rider paid school fees for 40 girls and 5 boys.
She wants to pay for 500 children more across the country, and she is only 14 years old!
Tanyaradzwa ‘Tanya’ Muzinda wants to make sure that all children can go to school by donating her money to Chinamano Council Primary School at Epworth.
“My dream is to send 500 kids (to school) in all ten provinces of the country by end of the year 2020 by God’s Grace and I have hope that this dream is achievable,” she expressed.
It was in 2015 when Tanya was crowned Zimbabwe Junior Sportswoman of the Year and Junior Sportsperson in the UK.
The oldest child of the Muzinda family, Tanya has grown up in the city of Harare, Zimbabwe. She’s the first girl of her family to go to school.
When her father, who has a passion for Motorsport, bought Tanya a go-kart, she was exposed to the Donnybrook Motorsport park where she had fun with her vehicle.
She was then introduced to the sport of Motocross and at only 6 years old, she became the first Zimbabwean female motocross champion in history.
She told ZoomZimbabwe she wants to give back to the community. “A lot of times I miss races, training because of finances and other technical reasons, I know how it feels to miss something you cherish and is part of your destiny, so I could imagine a little girl looking at other kids going to school and staying home, the pain and trauma is unbearable.”
In 2018, she was featured as one of the 10 greatest African female Trailblazer athletes.
She wrote on her blog: “This month marks 6 years since my historic appointment as the Zimbabwe-European Union Honorary Ambassador for Gender ,Youth ,Sports and development and l think it made me the Youngest Ambassador in the World.
“Since l was young it was always my desire to help others at school my friends gave me a Nick name Mother Theresa and laughed a lot about it until l was appointed by the EUROPEAN UNION Delegation to Zimbabwe and realised it’s a calling.
“I have since adopted an orphanage in Warren Park called Nyarirai Children’s Home which l help with my pocket money and sometime my prize money.
“My parents help a lot in looking for books clothes and amenities for the children. Every year I’ve been organizing with my family and friends of #TeamTanya a Christmas party for the kids celebrating together.
“Charity begins at home.”
A talented girl with a golden heart!
