Campaign Story

Chiredzi Christian Children’s Village was registered in 2002 as a church institution to take care of OVCs. The institution is under the administration of Hippo Valley Christian Mission which is a Christian Organization based in the United States of America. Chiredzi Christian Children’s Village is among seven registered orphanages in Masvingo Province. The institution is situated in Chiredzi urban at stand 3241 Tsovani Township. Chiredzi is an agro-based town, and its existence has been made possible through Hippo Valley, Triangle and Mkwasine estates. The institution has 80 OVCs out of about 5000 institutionalised OVCs nationwide according to the Ministry of services welfare. Its main goal when it was founded was to take care of those children who were completely destitute and abandoned. This was the only institution in the district at that period. Now there are two orphanages in the district. Currently it houses 51 children and it is making sure that they are living well whilst trying to equip them for the future.
