  Rekai Tangwena Children’s Home

  Rekai Tangwena Children’s Home was founded in the early 1980s by the late Bishop Livingstone Nerwande of the Holy Cross Fellowship Church to care for abandoned and vulnerable children. Officially registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare in 2006, the Home has provided decades of compassionate care, guiding children from crisis to independence.

  To strengthen its impact, the Home seeks to raise $10,000 to equip a vocational training unit. This center will provide practical skills for vulnerable children in residential care, particularly for those unable to pursue formal education, empowering them to thrive beyond the Home.

  Your support can help Rekai Tangwena Children’s Home continue giving Zimbabwe’s most vulnerable children the safety, skills, and hope they need to build meaningful futures.

  Mount Selinda Orphanage

  On Sunday, 13 July 2025, a devastating fire tore through Mount Selinda Orphanage in Chipinge, Zimbabwe, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. The fire destroyed dormitories, classrooms, and stores—leaving dozens of vulnerable children without shelter, food, clothing, or school supplies.

  Founded in 1955, Mount Selinda Orphanage has served as a refuge for orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children—offering them not just a place to sleep, but a place to heal, grow, and belong.

  Today, that safe haven lies in ruins.

  We are urgently appealing for your support to help meet the immediate and critical needs of the affected children. Your donation will go directly toward:

  • Emergency shelter and bedding

  • Food and clean water

  • Clothing and hygiene kits

  • School uniforms and supplies

  • Psychosocial support and trauma care

  No child should have to face disaster alone. With your help, we can restore stability, dignity, and hope to their lives.
