The Jairos Jiri Mukuwapasi Centre in Manicaland Province is part of the Jairos Jiri Association, a pioneering Zimbabwean non-profit founded in 1950 to advance the rights, rehabilitation, and empowerment of persons with disabilities. The Centre offers tailored education, vocational training, and healthcare services that promote self-reliance and social inclusion for children and adults with disabilities. Building on a legacy of transforming lives across Zimbabwe, Mukuwapasi Centre creates pathways for individuals to live independently and with dignity. To enhance its impact, the Centre seeks to raise $10,000 to refurbish its accommodation facilities, making them more inclusive and accessible for children with disabilities. Your support will help ensure that more children in Zimababwe can learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, inclusive environment where every individual is valued and empowered.
Inspired by his own experience of isolation and stigma as a youth living with a disability, Bahati Satir Omar established Uwezon Youth Empowerment in 2014 with a vision to advocate, empower, and serve Rwandan children and youth with disabilities to live independently and with dignity. Since then, thousands of children and young people have been empowered to live independent, full meaningful and dignified lives.
Collaborating with local partners, Uwezo leads advocacy programmes that promote equal access to human rights, healthcare, and economic opportunity. To date they have enabled over 4800 children with disabilities to access quality education. Uwezo also provides caregiver training and support and ensures young people have access to inclusive health services.
Cáritas is dedicated to empowering rural communities in Mozambique’s Gaza Province by providing access to education, healthcare, psychosocial support, and nutritional programmes. At the heart of its mission is a commitment to improving the wellbeing of orphaned and vulnerable children.
To strengthen the safety net of care, Cáritas also equips caregivers and guardians with sustainable farming skills, start-up capital, and improved housing and sanitation through the construction of homes and latrines. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term resilience, the organisation ensures families can build stability and hope for the future.
This campaign seeks to raise $10,000 to expand Cáritas programmes in Gaza Province, funding food support and farming inputs for vulnerable children and their caregivers. Your support will help rural families overcome hardship and create lasting change.
