HERE'S WHAT WE DO

WeCareEd

  

WeCareEd pays school fees for children from Grade 1 through Grade 7, or the end of elementary education. At that point, our policy says they have graduated from Grade 7. We endeavor to support a child at whatever grade they enter the WeCareEd program. We then commit to supporting that child until they have graduated Grade 7. 

Tariro Gardens

  

We started with the nutritional gardens, and have developed gardens in our community and neighboring communities. People come and seek knowledge on marketing strategies, pest control, and how to grow various crops such as bananas as shown in the  photo above.

CCIP-Zimbabwe believes that as women’s income increase and assets increase, so does their decision-making power and their ability to invest in themselves and their families. By supporting the Chitakatira Sewing Club of 18 ladies, we can expand economic opportunities for women and help them strengthen their families and communities and the economy. With donated sewing machines and a recently purchased embroidery sewing machine, the ladies patch children's clothes, make school and choir uniforms, track suits, aprons, placemats, and many other small items to raise money to support their families. 

SUNFLOWER OIL PROJECT

We began the Sunflower Oil Projects in hopes of encouraging farmers to grow sunflowers as a means to earn extra income. For a while, we had the machinery for extracting sunflower oil working well. Farmers were growing sunflowers and we were buying seeds from them. But then several problems developed. We put the project on hold.  We are hoping that the mechanical difficulties can be resolved and again be back in business.

Tariro Fisheries

Our successful fish project has attracted local interests that we have developed ponds around the community and beyond. We freely give knowledge on how to start a backyard fish farm for family consumption and market . Almost every week we register people who seek such knowledge.

    GIVE A CHILD A FUTURE IN ZIMBABWE

      

    Right now, bright, capable children in Zimbabwe are being sent home from school—not because they lack ability, but because their families cannot afford tuition, uniforms, or books.


    For many, the cost of education is the only barrier between hardship and hope.


    Through WeCareEd, an outreach of CCIP Zimbabwe, children who would otherwise miss school are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream.


    When you give:

    • A child stays in the classroom
    • A family gains hope
    • A community grows stronger
    • A future leader begins their journey


    Education does more than teach reading and math. It builds confidence. It creates opportunity. It breaks the cycle of poverty.


    And the impact multiplies. One educated child can lift an entire household—and eventually, an entire community.


    For many of these students, your support means:

    • School fees paid in full
    • Proper uniforms and supplies
    • The dignity of belonging
    • The chance to succeed


    The need is urgent. The solution is simple. The impact is lasting.


    Will you invest in a child’s future today?

      • Volunteer-Driven: Connecting volunteers for projects including church/parsonage construction, skills training, and workshops.
