St Tabeth Children’s Home is a registered Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO 13/2015) in Chidoma, dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and permanent home for orphaned and vulnerable children in the Gokwe district.

Our mission is to ensure every child has access to comprehensive care, including shelter, nutrition, education, and emotional support, within a loving, family-oriented environment. We are committed to fostering self-reliance and sustainability, not only for the children we serve but also for the home’s long-term future.

To achieve this, we are seeking $8,000 to fund two critical social enterprise projects: a poultry project and a market garden project. The poultry initiative will involve constructing a modern fowl run and acquiring chicks and feed, allowing us to generate income from egg and meat sales while providing a sustainable source of protein for the children.

Simultaneously, the market garden project will see the establishment of a permaculture garden, supplying fresh vegetables for the home and a surplus to be sold at local markets. These initiatives are designed to create a consistent, reliable income stream, reducing our dependence on fluctuating external donations and empowering St. Tabeth to become a self-sufficient pillar of the community, ensuring the children’s well-being for years to come.

To enhance our impact, we are seeking US$10,000 to purchase a multipurpose truck that will enable us to mobilize resources, transport food supplies, school materials, and donations, and facilitate emergency response for the children under our care. The truck will significantly reduce transport costs, ensure timely delivery of critical resources, and improve our outreach to rural and underserved communities. Beyond logistics, this investment will directly impact the lives of hundreds of vulnerable children, ensuring consistent access to nutrition, clothing, and educational support while strengthening our ability to respond to urgent needs. With this truck, we will not only sustain daily operations but also create a lifeline that secures dignity, stability, and hope for the children we serve.

Village of Hope (VOH) Children’s Home  is a faith-based organization committed to providing holistic care for vulnerable children, guided by our values of love, dignity, and hope, and driven by our vision “that all children are loved and cared for.” We provide shelter, education, nutrition, healthcare, and discipleship to children in need, empowering them to grow into responsible and independent adults. We are seeking support to invest in environmentally sustainable energy by installing solar power systems in our children’s homes. Specifically, we aim to equip the remaining four homes with 5kva solar systems at a cost of $2,500 each, totaling $10,000. Solar energy will provide a reliable and eco-friendly power source in the face of frequent electricity outages, ensuring children can continue their studies without disruption, homes can maintain a safe and stable environment, and essential services such as lighting and refrigeration can function consistently. This project will not only cut down long-term energy costs but also create a greener and more sustainable future for the children in our care.
