When Philanthropy becomes a Life's Passion

credit:

Lilian Choruwa-Chambuka is the face behind the rescue of a set of Murehwa quadruplets from a hospital after their parents failed to find suitable accommodations for them. But she had been involved in philanthropy in Zimbabwe long before that incident. She said helping others defines her life.

Lilian calls her work with the quadruplets part of a divine calling that began when she felt led to purchase newspapers twice, months apart.

Lilian has participated in a number of other charitable works and enjoys helping others find a better future.
