  Danai Children’s Home

  Danai Children’s Home was established in 2002 by Gogo Saungweme, who has since passed away. A board of trustees now manages the home. There was a gap in the community for abandoned, abused and orphaned children, hence the birthing of the vision. The institution has a maximum capacity of 25 children. Currently, 29 children are residents at the home, 15 Girls and 14 boys. The vision is to ensure that children at Danai grow up in an environment where they can discover their purpose in life and learn to walk in self-control and wisdom, growing stronger in spirit, so that they can fulfil their purpose. “And the child grew strong in body and wise in spirit.

  Emerald Hill Children’s Home

  Emerald Hill Children’s Home is a home for orphaned and vulnerable children, located at the summit of Emerald Hill in Zimbabwe’s capital city, Harare. Since 1914, the Roman-Catholic Dominican Sisters have provided shelter for children in need. Today, the home cares for the physical and spiritual well-being of about 90 children aged 3 to 20.

  The children come from a variety of difficult backgrounds, many of them having been abandoned by their parents or having gone through traumatic experiences of neglect, emotional and physical abuse, including sexual abuse.

  Apart from providing food and shelter, Emerald Hill actively focuses on the emotional healing of its children through Christian spirituality in daily life, the engagement of social workers and counsellors, and several other creative offers.

  After completing their primary education, the boys move to St. Joseph’s House for Boys, Belvedere, Harare, while the girls stay until they finish their education; furthermore, they are assisted with job training to become self-sufficient.
