The countdown is officially on: JUST 2 DAYS TO GO until the Dawn 'til Dusk team takes on the 16-hour challenge!

Huge thank you to everyone who has pitched in so far - we’ve hit £450! 🙌

With 48 hours left, we’ve set our sights on reaching £1,000. Reaching this target means even greater support for our beautiful families in Zim.

Whether it’s £5 or a quick share on your story, every bit of support gets us closer 💜

16 hours. Non-stop. 1 week to go. ⏳🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️

In just 7 days, our incredible trustees and shamwaris (friends) are taking on the Dawn ’til Dusk Challenge - 16 continuous hours of physical activity to send one clear message to our kids in Harare:

We are not giving up on you 💛

From sunrise to sunset, our team will be moving, sweating and pushing through the fatigue so we can keep showing up for our Zimkids community. But we can’t do it across the finish line alone!

👉 Sponsor our team today and show our kids they’ve got a whole world behind them.

Our trustees don’t just sit in board meetings - they lead from the front! On Saturday 1st August, they’re joining some of our key Shamwaris and stepping up for our Dawn ’til Dusk Challenge, pushing their limits from sunrise to sunset to raise funds for our work in Harare.

We couldn't be prouder of this team. Here is how they’re tackling the day, hour by hour, sweat by sweat...

Every single hour represents funds going directly to our grassroots projects on the ground in Harare because WE'RE NOT GIVING UP YET!

Can you sponsor a specific slot or back your favourite trustee?

On this Nelson Mandela International Day, we are reminded of a powerful truth: it is still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity.

At Zimkids, we put this into action daily across Epworth and Hopley by creating sustainable pathways out of poverty.

Mandela dedicated 67 years to public service. Today, how will you use your hands to lift others up? 🌟

Remember when our Zimkids HQ was buzzing with energy during our intensive plumbing workshop? Ten of our determined youth stepped up to learn the ropes of the trade and we promised that vocational training was just the beginning of their journey toward independence.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that three of the talented young adults who attended last month’s workshop - all of whom are currently out of school - have officially stepped into practical, hands-on training and internships led by the team at Pipeline.

Please join us in celebrating and cheering on:

Tonderayi (18)

Tinotenda (19)

Tatenda (19)

These three future tradespeople started their hands-on training last week. Not only are they doing incredibly well, but they are also soaking up knowledge and learning a massive amount every single day on the job.

Transitioning from a one-day workshop to real-world, practical training is a massive step. It’s how we bridge the gap between inspiration and sustainable, independent futures. We could not be prouder of their focus and work ethic, and we are deeply grateful to Pipeline for creating these life-changing pathways.

Watch this space as Tonderayi, Tinotenda and Tatenda continue to build their skills and futures, one pipe at a time! 🛠️✨

Yesterday, we picked up an incredible donation of 500 brand-new, high-quality books from Book Aid! From essential textbooks and dictionaries to magical storybooks and novels, our shelves are about to get a major upgrade.

This came at the absolute perfect time as we kick off our initiative to revive our community libraries.

Next up: sorting and distributing them to our community classes! 🏫💡

Thank you, Book Aid, for helping us write a brighter chapter for our community!
