Eric believed in the power of education: Donate books or supplies to a school of your choice.
100 textbooks have been donated to impoverished schools in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, in Eric Samson's name. Each book is inscribed in loving memory of a man who strived and succeeded to make a world of difference to so many in his lifetime. In April 2022, Early Childhood and Grade 1 classrooms in Matabeleland will be stocked with educational supplies in his name, and vulnerable children and orphans will be given school supplies, toys, books and clothes to make their lives a little easier. When we make the donations we will remember and honour his gentle compassion, his wisdom, his generosity, and his great love for humanity.
