Matching Givers With The Need On The Ground

Opening a path for like minded individuals driven by a passion for impactful philanthropic programs begins with establishing long term causes that demonstrate an end in sight. The concept of adopting a school resonates well with well wishers that have a desire to address low cost challenges that a typical rural school may encounter.

Resource Accountability & Sustainability

The cool thing about adopting & supporting a particular school lies in the fact that resources can be accounted for. Each time we can account for donated resources we stand a better chance to measure the degree of impact of our efforts. Furthermore, we become strategically positioned to fine tune strategies that have higher returns and eliminate those that have low dividends.

Schools As Spheres of Influence

Schools mirror the community at large. Progressively funneling developmental initiatives/resources through the school system is a guaranteed method of getting a good return on investment for most rural schools. Increasing youth programs at schools level is crucial for establishing the change process necessary to break the poverty cycle & foster generational prosperity & stability. Deliberate efforts & resources must be strategically deployed to accelerate inclusion and allow girls to unleash their full potential.

Creating Village Presence

The concept of adopting a school was presented to us by potential donor families that felt the need for on going presence in a community. This concept provides givers with an opportunity to be directly involved with day to day activities at community level. Besides just supporting a single cause, the program makes it possible for a potential giver to establish a long term relationship with a respective school by picking on a confluence of projects.

here are several ways to make an impact

Clean Drinking Water Cause

An opportunity to foster long term proper hygiene & sanitation exists in the form of ensuring clean drinking water. Assistance with sinking a borehole is another low cost high impact project that will change lives for generations to come. Most rural schools do not have running water. They must depend on open wells for drinking water. We encourage donors to kindly consider assisting with sinking a manual borehole for clean drinking water. The cost of sinking a borehole ranges from US$4,500.00 to $5,000.00.

Sponsor A Computer Lab

The few rural schools that have electricity can potentially serve as a central hub for children to access computers early in life. Helping a school set up a basic computer lab is a unique way to expose children to information technology a vital tool in this day and age of computers. In an environment where exposure to computers can be very minimal, we welcome your kind consideration to assist with this cause that will help prepare children for the tech road ahead of them.

Tuition Scholarship

Working with a particular school provides better insight into real time needs that children face. In a zero-income environment, most parents cannot afford the required tuition of $150.00 - $200.00/year at most rural schools. Tuition assist is a unique way of directing impactful resources on a particular child that demonstrates academic proficiency. This strategy has direct influence on a child's trajectory on whom they ultimately become in life.

Pave-A-Dirt Basketball Court

The schools we have partnered with initially had children dribble the ball on the dirt. Seeing the delight on children's faces playing on a hard surface is humbling moreover with donated sneakers. You too can make a generational impact by considering donating a hard surface at a rural school in Zimbabwe. With a gift of US$1,500.00 children can begin to learn and enjoy a game of basketball.

Academic/Sport Uniforms Assist

The psychological impact of suiting up in uniform for a game provides the added social security needed for children to develop self esteem and self confidence. The idea of belonging or making the cut plays a crucial role in shaping who kids grow up to become in life. Sponsoring a schools' sport uniform with your name on it is a cool way of directly connecting with an underserved school in Zimbabwe.

Academic/Sports Awards

Recognizing & rewarding positive behavior is a key step to increasing morale among children. Academic/sports awards provide children with a broad sense of what they are capable of not what they are limited by thereby providing the self-esteem needed to overcome social barriers in life. Your kind gift of a token of accomplishment such as trophies, or medals is guaranteed to deliver a huge impact on a child's life both in academics and sports.
