“From an early age, Chido was adamant about helping other orphans so that they didn’t have to experience what she went through. Providentially, when she was 11, she was one of 15 orphan girls from Zimbabwe invited to learn mushroom cultivation.” https://twitter.com/onecampaign/status/606916041088897024
