Care Zimbabwe
CARE began working in Zimbabwe in 1992 in response to severe regional drought and has since expanded programming to address longer-term development issues. Currently, an estimated 5.8 million people are facing severe food insecurity in Zimbabwe as a result of the human-made climate crisis. Investing in water infrastructure is critical for tackling the drought that is gripping large swaths of the country and the wider region. CARE is focused on providing easy access to water for drinking and irrigation to stop the spread of disease and to prevent people – most of whom are women and girls – from walking miles to and from water sources every single day. Through strategic local partnerships, CARE is implementing both short-term and long-term programming to empower Zimbabwe’s vulnerable households to meet their basic needs through sustainable livelihoods. To that end, CARE’s programming in Zimbabwe is focused on the following areas: food and nutrition security, climate resilient livelihoods, economic development, education, and water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Zvandiri
Zvandiri, “As I am”, is transforming young lives through peer connections to assure health, happiness, and hope. We began 18 years ago with six young people living with HIV who wanted more than just the medicines and clinic visits. They established a support group which has evolved into the Zvandiri model of community, clinic and digital health services, in partnership with governments, to deliver services to young people living with HIV. We believe our evidence-based model that connects young people with trained, mentored peers provides a holistic approach that is innovative and ensures sustainable impact. Zvandiri started in Zimbabwe and has been adopted and scaled in 8 countries with 1600 trained peers we call Community Adolescent Treatment Supporters or CATS. Our goal is to expand our Zvandiri model to 20 countries by 2030 to deliver health, happiness and hope to 1 million young people living with HIV.

Orap Zimbabwe
The Organisation of Rural Associations for Progress (ORAP) exists to fight all forms of poverty, principally among the rural communities of women,men and youth through the empowerment of people by facilitating their development in their cultural context. ORAP envisions empowered grassroots communities free of hunger and poverty, where the disadvantaged communities of women, men and youth should draw up their own plans and uplift themselves relying mainly on their own intellect and available resources. The philosophy revolves around the core concept of Zenzele, which stems from the African saying "Akusimuntu ongasimuntu walutho"-"There is nobody who has no purpose”. Zenzele is thus a development process of self-discovery and self-mobilization administered by the self—not solely for the benefit of self but also for the development of others. This concept guides and threads through everything that ORAP does and is evident everywhere and anywhere ORAP operates.

Catalyst Foundation
We welcome all vulnerable individuals with open arms who are in line with the work that we do, and the Programmes that we initiate. We are on a mission to transform individuals from vulnerable to empowered, by providing holistic support to those in need. We tailor our support to every selected individual’s specific needs, and implement a sustainable plan that will help them to become the best version of themselves. We provide consistent long-term care to the individuals whom we support, and believe that by working closely together, we can create better opportunities and inspire them to have hope for their brighter futures. Our S.H.E (Secure, Hope, Empowered) Programme works collaboratively with vulnerable girls across Africa, to break down the barriers that girls in particular face when accessing an education. Across Africa, 32.6 million girls of primary and lower secondary school age are out of school. This number rises to 52 million when looking at girls of upper secondary school age. As a result of not going to school, girls may become victims of: child abuse, child rape, early child marriages/pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, and the list goes on. This is where we come in and try to bridge the gap - one girl at a time, as we believe that every girl-child has the right to an education! We are currently set up in Zimbabwe and Zambia, with plans of expanding into other African countries in the near future, as well as introducing new diverse Programmes that will create greater impact.

Zimbabwe Council Of Churches
The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) is a fellowship of churches that seek to contribute towards the achievement of a united, peaceful, just and prosperous Zimbabwe. It was formed in June 1964 in the then colonial Rhodesia as a protest movement drawing on biblical theological resources to speak out and stand against the subjugation of one race by another. Although the Council of churches did not always live up to the ideals of its calling, it has remained a true Christian witness for over 50 years. As an example to the above mentioned, the Council: contributed to the early establishment of a robust health and education system; participated during the Lancaster House negotiations that paved the way for Independence after a protracted war; contributed to the post-war reconstruction processes after 1980; built leadership and other critical capacities of clergy and civic leaders; catalysed the development of key civic platforms such as the National Constitutional Assembly, Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development, Zimbabwe Election Support Network among others. In so doing, the ZCC contributed to nation building in pre and post independent Zimbabwe. In the last 20 years, the ZCC has had to address numerous challenges such as: the fragmentation of society caused by unresolved violent conicts and hurts from the past; the general sense of mistrust prevalent in society, divisions within the church; the breakdown of the family structure and the inability of the church to speak with one voice.
