All the children we support come from a very poor, high-density suburban township of the capital city Harare, called Dzivaresekwa. The children are either full orphans or at least one of their parents (usually the father) has passed away. The families are extremely poor and cannot afford to pay the school fees or uniforms, however small these sums are by European standards!

We endeavour to select children who are bright and eager to learn. In most cases the relevant Head Masters or “Teachers-in-Charge” have recommended the children to us. In some cases children and their guardians have learned about our education support facility through children already in the programme and have accordingly approached us directly.

Before enrolling we always establish the child’s situation thoroughly, visit their homes and, in cooperation with the school, check on the child's level of talent.

Some Vital Statistics

Occasionally we have some children for whom we are still seeking a sponsor.  If you would like to become one, please visit our pages of Children without a Sponsor, where you might find someone to become “your child”.
