Guruve, Mashonaland Central – With just 11 days remaining before schools reopen on January 13, Muroiwa Primary School in Guruve is preparing to welcome learners into significantly improved facilities, following support from gold mining company Eureka.
The Dallaglio-owned miner has invested in the construction of new classroom blocks, the donation of furniture, and is currently building semi-detached accommodation for teachers — developments that are already changing the learning environment at the rural school.
Speaking to Great Dyke News, the school’s head expressed appreciation for the intervention, saying the upgrades have created a more conducive atmosphere for both teaching and learning.
“These improvements have come at a critical time. Our learners now have better classrooms, our teachers feel supported, and we are optimistic about the year ahead,” she said.
Muroiwa Primary School serves more than 500 learners, many of whom previously faced overcrowded classrooms and limited infrastructure.
Eureka Mine is owned by Dallaglio Investments, one of Zimbabwe’s top three gold producers. The company develops and operates commercial-scale gold mines and recommissioned Eureka Mine in 2021 after an extensive refurbishment of its processing plant.
Human Capital Support Services Manager Tinago Tinago said support for Muroiwa Primary School forms part of Dallaglio Investments’ broader community engagement strategy, aimed at improving education and livelihoods in communities surrounding its operations.
Members of the school community say the new infrastructure has boosted morale among both teachers and pupils, fostering renewed confidence and enthusiasm as the 2026 academic year approaches.
Parents and staff believe the partnership between the mining company and the school sets a positive example of how corporate investment can contribute meaningfully to local development, particularly in the education sector.
