Since 2016 some $650,000 has been raised and invested in this community building project in Zimbabwe.

 

The initiative focuses on providing support for disabled and disenfranchised youth, including agricultural inputs and mobility devices.  It is active in supporting the needs of over 700 + disabled and disadvantaged children and young people in a rural part of Northern Zimbabwe. 

 

Plans for a safe house for abused girls and young women are well underway as fundraising efforts continue to complete the community hall.

 

The project engages a very effective two-level oversight system that ensures funds go where they are supposed to go.
