Khaya Kip Keino Children’s Home was founded by accomplished Zimbabwean athletes – Patrick Masina, Stewart Mudokwani, and Zibusiso Nyoni, who were inspired by the humanitarian legacy of Kipchoge Keino of Kenya, who placed Kenya on the international map of ‘Track and Field’ athletics. What began as a vision to create a training facility for young athletes evolved into a sanctuary for children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other life challenges in 1997. Today, we are a beacon of hope, providing care, education, and opportunities to needy children.
Danai Children’s Home was established in 2002 by Gogo Saungweme, who has since passed away. A board of trustees now manages the home. There was a gap in the community for abandoned, abused and orphaned children, hence the birthing of the vision. The institution has a maximum capacity of 25 children. Currently, 29 children are residents at the home, 15 Girls and 14 boys. The vision is to ensure that children at Danai grow up in an environment where they can discover their purpose in life and learn to walk in self-control and wisdom, growing stronger in spirit, so that they can fulfil their purpose. “And the child grew strong in body and wise in spirit.
African Community Center for Social Sustainability (ACCESS) works alongside their community to provide medical care, education, and economic empowerment opportunities to orphans and to children and their caregivers, with an aim to create long lasting, sustainable change.
ACCESS has established a walk-in healthcare clinic in the community as well as an accredited nurse and midwifery school and community health worker program. They also provide early childhood education and secondary school support and income generating opportunities.
