Fairfield Children’s Home
Fairfield Children’s Home was founded in 1903 by some United Methodist Women Missionaries who were based at Old Mutare Mission, when they came across some cases of abandoned and orphaned children who had no one else to care for them. Fairfield is probably the oldest orphanage in Zimbabwe. The children used to be kept at what used to be called the Baby Fold or (BH) baby house, a wing of the Old Mutare Hospital wards up to their ages of 4 or 5 years and then used to either be transferred to other Institutions around the country or got adopted or got foster parents, because the facilities then at the Orphanage were not meant for older children.
In 2002 the orphanage changed its name to Fairfield Children’s Home and discarded the word “Orphanage” to avoid stigmatisation. It also transformed its facilities to stand on its own from the hospital and to be able to care for up to 80 children in family units up to their ages of majority (18 yrs.)
Fairfield Children’s Home offers the last option to abandoned and needy destitute children a chance to regain what they had lost:- a home, a family, mother, brother, sister, self pride, education, religion as well as a chance to gain a life skill and equal opportunities in life.
After they attained the age of 18 years we do not just let the children go. We continue taking care of them while they are with foster families or we rent rooms for them to stay while they are attending colleges and universities.
The Home aims to expand the piggery project, built a proper fowl run to keep chickens for eggs and meat The estimated cost for these projects is USD 10 000.00. We aim to expand our projects for children’s nutrition and also to generate income for the Home.
