Our Aim

The Society's purpose is to help poor Zimbabwean orphans in the Harare township of Dzivarasekwa to receive a basic education. By supporting them, we can increase their human capital and promote their general welfare.

A core principle is that support payments for individual orphans are directed in their entirety to Zimbabwe for the benefit of the children and that administrative costs in Finland are funded from other sources such as membership fees and other revenues.

Do join our society! Annual membership is only €25.

We use sponsors' and Government donations to pay school fees, to buy school uniforms, sportswear, schoolbooks and equipment, to give the children one daily meal, and to pay medical expenses. We also support the orphans' sports, cultural and recreational activities.  

Dzikwa Activity Centre

We have long dreamed of building an activity centre for our orphans. The dream finally started to come true in December 2006, when the Society bought a plot of land to house the centre. The Dzikwa Activity Centre will strengthen the support and services we provide, improve the use we make of our resources, create sustainability and allow us to expand our range of support.

Your contribution means a lot to us. Why not help support our project?
