Zimunya awarded $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace grant

A Wartburg College student has received a $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace grant to help build a reliable power source and install water tanks in the village of Chigodora in Zimbabwe this summer. Bladley Zimunya, a sophomore majoring in economics and business administration, grew up in Chigodora and understands how hard it is on the community of 10,000 to survive with just a single community water well that depends on an unreliable national electric grid. His project will install a solar-powered water pumping system and three 5,000-liter reservoir tanks, as well as training for two local technicians.
