Zimbabwe

Without education the children are condemned to a future of poverty, ill health and an early death. (Education) gives them the opportunity to take a step up the ladder of life and bring their family and community with them.

Planting Seeds for a Forgotten People

When Zimbabwe declared independence in 1979 it was a nation full of hope. It was known as “the breadbasket of Africa” due to its fertile productive land.

Sadly, as history records, things turned out very differently: civil war, drought, political turmoil and HIV/AIDS have left Zimbabwe’s infrastructure and economy in tatters. The “breadbasket” nation has been relying on overseas aid, with millions close to starvation at times.

Meanwhile on the mountainous outskirts, the people of Nidiadzo have been all-but-forgotten, scratching out a living in a mountain valley. Like the rest of Zimbabwe they dream of a better future.

You can offer the people of Nidiadzo that hope by building them a school. Join them in the village for a fortnight. Share their hopes and dreams – and work with us to make some of them a reality.
