“It has become a habit to share the little l have with those who are seriously in need.
“Each and every year l donate to goods to children in homes to cater for their education, shelter and health,” he said.
Apart from donations the young man also assists the disadvantaged students in obtaining partial scholarships overseas via his agency called Lutgardis Agency Zimbabwe.
He has provided many opportunities to some students who are studying in Cyprus, Turkey, Asia, Europe, Australia and other countries.
Farai, through a full athletics sponsorship, left Zimbabwe to do a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) in Cyprus.
At EMU he rose to become the university sportsman of the year in 2016 after impressive performances in javelin and shot putt and also in the sprints.
“Besides that I am doing well in athletics in Belgium which is the country l am now based in.
“I have won several medals, certificates and awards throughout this year; right now I am aiming to represent my country Zimbabwe by 2020 as javelin thrower,” he added.
