Midlands Children Hope Project is a norwegian non-profit charity organization with the goal to give vulnerable families and children in Zimbabwe the knowledge, inspiration and motivation that they need to be able to stand on their own feet, and at the same time give emergency assistance when needed. By investing in peoples potential we are building local communities step by step by finding solutions that works for each person. Today we have 12 unique projects that you can read about below.
Through giving people the tools and knowledge that they need we’re doing charity in a new way, by giving them the confidence and selfworth to find the longterm solution which works for them. Today the project is based in Zimbabwes third biggest city, Gweru, but our ultimate goal is to be able to bring the model forward to new locations. We have separate sponsors who covers the administrative expenses, so all your donation goes directly to the project.
Zimbabwe is located in the southern Africa, and borders to South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Mosambique and Namibia. The country went from being the breadbasket of Africa, to become of the the world most poor countries with big political, economical and social difficulties in just a few decades. The difficult situation has affected the most vulnerable in the community the most - the children. The HIV and AIDS epidemic made one out of four children to be orphans. As a direct result of this the country has a lot of street children. The boys are often used by corrupt police to do crimes, while the gilrs are being owned by illegal mine workers. To make the situation even worse, it is illegal to be a street child in Zimbabwe.
