TV BRICS and Foundation of First Lady of Zimbabwe start cooperation

On Thursday, 8 December, TV BRICS Media Network and the Angel Of Hope Foundation of the First Lady of Zimbabwe, H.E. Auxillia Mnangagwa, signed a cooperation agreement.

The parties are intended to start creating projects to implement the foreign policy of the Russian Federation, the BRICS countries and the countries of the African Union and their image on the world stage within South Africa. In addition, joint humanitarian and cultural initiatives of other BRICS countries and African countries will be developed between TV BRICS and the Angel of Hope Foundation.

"The signing of the MoU we have just done is very good to me and my Foundation. It is going to tell more about my work all the people who didn’t know what the First Lady of Zimbabwe is doing. They’re going to see and hear from this cooperation that now exist between both us. And I am saying to the women of our country, Zimbabwe, is an opening gate for them now also to be more in what we are doing, those who are in business or the women empowerment projects that we are doing including our youth. This is also going to help them."

The Angel of Hope Foundation is a Zimbabwean non-profit organisation founded by the First Lady, H.E. Auxillia Mnangagwa. The foundation was established on 17 February, 2018.

The main focus of the charitable organisation Angel of Hope is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and other vulnerable members of society. Mnangagwa is doing a lot to help all vulnerable groups in the country. She works hard to empower women across the country by providing them with decent jobs and the opportunity to care for their families.

H.E.Auxillia Mnangagwa spoke about the work of the foundation and the role of a woman who plays a role in various sectors of the Zimbabwean economy.

“The foundation encouraged women to be involved in all the aspects of life in Zimbabwe. We now find our women in agriculture, mining, tourism and constructing. We see them everywhere,” she said.

"We need to cooperate in almost everything. You know, Russia has very developed areas such as science and technology, agriculture, energy. Cooperation in all these areas will benefit Zimbabwe more. <...> We rely on TV BRICS to report exactly what is happening in Africa,” she added.

Janna Tolstikova, CEO of TV BRICS, expressed her hope that cooperation with the Angel of Hope Foundation would help share new initiatives in the field of charity and humanitarian relations between Zimbabwe and the BRICS countries.

“I was very surprised to learn that the first lady of Zimbabwe is called “Amai” by the common people of her country. It means "Mother of the Nation" translated from their national language. This is truly an honorary title that she deserves. Her work in the field of charity, helping the poorest segments of the population is amazing. TV BRICS pays a lot of attention to the idea of promoting charity and volunteerism."
