Since 1929, St Joseph House has been a refuge for boys with nowhere else to turn — children who are orphaned, abandoned, abused, or neglected. Today, 55 boys call this house their only home.
But the house that has protected them for generations is in urgent need of refurbishment. Cracks in the walls, worn-out facilities, and unsafe spaces now threaten the very children it was built to shelter. Without repairs, their safety and dignity are at risk.
We are raising $15,000 to refurbish St Joseph House, ensuring the boys can grow up in a safe, nurturing environment — with strong walls, secure spaces, and renewed hope.
Every contribution will help restore not just a building, but the childhoods of 55 vulnerable boys who deserve protection, stability, and a chance to dream again.
Established in 2002, Hands of Hope Trust supports orphans and vulnerable children in residential care and runs a daily feeding programme in Hwange and Binga, which has significantly improved nutrition and reduced school dropouts. To empower youth transitioning out of care, the organisation is launching a $10,000 Sewing and Agriculture Skills Expansion Plan. This initiative provides hands-on sewing training for girls, equipping them with skills to produce garments such as dresses and other clothing items. Upon completing their training, each girl receives a start-up kit including industrial sewing machines and essential materials to help them establish their own small businesses and achieve self-reliance. The Agriculture Skills Start-Up Support component offers practical training in greenhouse farming, poultry production, and small-scale agriculture, alongside start-up inputs and access to land, enabling trained youth to launch sustainable, income-generating ventures.
