Sandra Jones Center-Children’s Home
The Sandra Jones Centre has been running for over 25 years and is committed to serving the children in our community. They rescue, accommodate, and rehabilitate abandoned, abused and at-risk children referred to us by the social welfare system. Our aim is to meet the emotional, social, academic and spiritual needs of at-risk and traumatised children by providing an interim crisis care facility. We strive to give children a second-chance at life, despite their circumstances, through the means of education, trauma care, and a safe and loving home.
We are requesting $10000 to refurbish the solar energy system at our children’s home, which is crucial for providing reliable power to support the daily needs of the children. Our plan includes the installation of a new inverter, two high-capacity batteries, and additional solar panels to enhance the system’s efficiency and capacity.
Additionally, we aim to upgrade the solar systems powering our two boreholes, as the current setups are insufficient to operate effectively. By improving these solar infrastructures, we will ensure a consistent energy supply, fostering a safe and nurturing environment for the children while also enhancing water access and management in our facility. This initiative is vital for promoting sustainability, reducing operational costs, and ultimately improving the quality of life for the children we serve.

EKHAYA KIP KEINO CHILDREN’S HOME
Donate nowEkhaya Kip Keino Children’s Home is a non-profit making organization registered with the Ministry of Public Services, Labour and Social Welfare as a Public Voluntary Organization in terms of relevant legislation. The Home is situated in Makwe, 36 km from Gwanda,Matebeleland South Province and caters for orphans and vulnerable children. Placement of the children at the Home is through the District of Social Services Office Gwanda and the Magistrate Court. Built on a 50-acre land, the home was designed to provide a family type of environment to orphans and vulnerable children. The home has four family units which are thatched huts that resemble a typical Zimbabwean homestead. It caters for 56 children at full capacity but is currently housing 48 children because one of the homesteads was gutted down by fire in August 2023.
This campaign aims to raise $10,000 to fund three key initiatives:
- the renovation and rethatching of the burnt homestead to improve living conditions as the children are currently overcrowded in the remaining 3 homesteads;
- Critical renovations to improve living conditions by replacing broken toilet systems and taps, renovating, tiling and repainting of toilets and bathrooms for both children and staff.
- Installation of solar system for back up during load shedding. The children’s home uses borehole water and needs electricity to pump water to the homesteads hence the need for solar backup.
Your gift will help more children find stability, receive the education they deserve, and build brighter futures filled with hope and opportunity.
