Date:

GLOBAL remittance giant, Remitly, has been confirmed as the headline partner for the 2024 Zimbabwe Achievers Awards (ZAA) United Kingdom edition set for 11 May in Birmingham.

Remitly is an online remittance service company that offers international money transfers to over 150 countries. It was founded in 2011 by Matthew Oppenheimer, Josh Hug, and Shivaas Gulati and became
publicly traded on the Nasdaq exchange in September 202.

“We are delighted to partner with Remitly on this incredible journey of celebrating high excellence in our communities worldwide. Thank you Remitly for coming on board with us,” said ZAA founder, Conrad Mwanza.

“Our visions are aligned as we both aim to empower through amplifying success stories and creating platforms that encourage international collaboration and uplifting the hopes of our people,” he added.

He expressed gratitude to other sponsors for the annual prestigious event who include Care Quality Support, Diaspora Insurance, Seeff Properties Zimbabwe, Ecocash and Tengai Online.

Mwanza revealed that in recognition of the huge impact Zimbabweans are having in the health sector in the United Kingdom, the ZAA has added this category to this years’ awards ceremony.

“We have seen a huge surge of health care businesses by successful Zimbabwean entrepreneurs in the UK and as the ZAA, we have seen it right to have a separate category acknowledging the efforts of Zimbabweans in the sector.”

This category is sponsored by Ultra Med Health Care.

ZAA will be celebrating their 13th anniversary in the UK, which is their flagship edition.

Founded in 2010 to honour, recognise and celebrate Zimbabwean changemakers around the world, the movement has grown to create a network across all the continents.
