Zimbabwe - Ndiadzo
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.

What You'll Be Doing in 2011
We will be building a primary school building for the village of Ndiadzo, on the Mozambique border. It will offer room to teach the 6-700 pupils currently being taught outdoors or in makeshift huts. The village want permanent school buildings and have done their best, baking local bricks. But they have no money to buy cement and steel for a permanent structure. We will be spending most of our time hard at work on the building site, to provide them a school building as quickly as possible. When it is finished the local church will provide teachers.
When you are helping on the building site, you will visit and support a number of other projects run in the village, including teaching, healthcare and evangelism.
While you are there you will stay with a local family in their thatched hut – this really is ‘full immersion’ in another culture.
Sunsets and Safaris
Although you will be working hard, there will be a chance to explore the beautiful unspoiled Southern African landscape. And if you haven't seen a Zimbabwe sunset, well you just haven't seen a sunset at all...
An “African Experience” Trip
The African Experience trip is designed for people who want to immerse themselves more fully in the authentic Africa. An African Experience trip is for you if you like the idea of staying with a host family, sharing the local food with them and sitting around a stove or fire sharing stories in the warm African night air. You may get to sleep in a mud hut!
Most importantly you will be making a personal impact on some of the neediest people in the world. Read More

Ndiadzo - Planting Seeds for a Forgotten People
Over 1.6 million adults live with HIV in Zimbabwe, almost half of them unable to get the medication they need to treat their condition, despite significant support in this area from the international community. There are over a million orphans, who may be malnourished or miss out on an education.
You will be supporting a church-run project in Ndiadzo that is offering a series of HIV/AIDS care and prevention programmes for both adults and children, including many of the orphans. Teams will build a series of simple children’s community centres to spread the HIV prevention message.
