Ponesai Vanhu Children’s Home
Ponesai Vanhu Children’s Home PVCH) was stabled in 1994 in order to provide children who are homeless, orphaned and living in the street, with shelter, basic education and other every day necessities to secure their personal, social, practical and academic development, so that they can grow up creating a stable and good future for themselves and their communities. In essence, it is a rehabilitating center where these children and young people are holistically rehabilitated into responsible, reliable and refocused youth (R4Youth) ready to fit in the mainstream society and survive the prevailing harsh economic environment in the country. For Refocusing, the home wants to mold children and youths to be entrepreneurial and not to focus on getting formal employment which is very difficult to obtain due to the high level of competition against few available opportunities. To this end, PVCH want to establish a Horticulture Training Hub to train children and youth into agripreneurship, as a low hanging livelihoods option given that the country is agro-based, to the children and youth preparing for weaning off. The Horticulture Training Hub will be a commercial demonstration and training site, where the youth and children from PVCH will get practical horticulture training, producing adequate high value crops to the satisfaction that they are ready to survive by practicing horticulture as a livelihood option, before they are reintegrated back to their community. The crops will be sold and proceeds used to train others thus ensuring sustainability. The Horticulture Hub will use the existing garden of 0.5ha that was fenced by Instatol. What is now required is US$10,000 to drill a solar powered borehole, a 10000L water tank and climate smart drip irrigation system. This is a life changing initiative to bring life-skills to vulnerable children and Youth for their living and bring development to their communities.
