Tsigiro/Usekelo Unlocking Opportunities and Supporting Zimbabwean Community in Diaspora
Diversified financial services group Tsigiro/Usekelo, (TU) a company dedicated to unlocking opportunities for Zimbabweans in the diaspora and their counterparts back home, is standing out as a beacon of support and economic empowerment.
At the core of TU is a commitment to providing a platform for the diaspora to invest and access housing in Zimbabwe, while also assisting in fostering financially meaningful lives for Zimbabweans abroad.
This comes as owning property in Zimbabwe can be challenging – with high deposit requirements and short pay-off periods resulting in many Zimbabweans failing to access the required funding.
Statistics show that only 2,5 percent of Zimbabweans have a mortgage.
However, TU, in addition to other financial services solutions it offers, has introduced a platform, which makes it easier for Zimbabweans in the diaspora to own a home, back home, by offering access to funding, building materials and construction services in one place.
Additionally, the firm support community projects for Zimbabweans in South Africa involved in music and art industry.
In addition to supporting cultural endeavours TU is extending a helping hand to the Zimbabwean community living in South Africa by providing funeral and repatriation services.
Management at TU indicated the company understands the challenges faced by the diaspora in times of loss, and it aims to ease the burden by offering comprehensive services that ensure a dignified farewell for their loved ones.
TU chief financial officer, Gift Chawasarira, emphasised the company’s responsibility to support communities and maintain their strength.
“As companies, it is our duty to recognise the needs of our communities and actively contribute to their growth and prosperity. We are proud to be part of initiatives that not only showcase our cultural heritage but also empower Zimbabweans both at home and abroad.”
