Help to Educate and Feed the Chipembere Orphans

By making a small monthly or yearly contribution you could help to feed and educate a child.

Chipembere Orphanage is situated at Chipembere Base Camp in the village of Chimphanga. It was established to help alleviate financial burdens on families that have taken in orphaned children. These children have either lost their parents to AIDS or other illnesses due to poverty. The financial burden on surviving family members is extremely high due to unemployment. The orphanage was originally established to help Chimphanga Village.

We have now incorporated another six needy villages as follows:

Ngwiriza Village

Khondo Village

Siki Village

Mzondola Village

Mandizwa Village

Chitumba Village

Nyantana Village

Forty-eight children are supported at the orphanage on a feeding scheme where the orphanage provides meals; most of these children are surviving on one meal a day.

Forty of the children attend the local school and we believe that the future of these children rests in the ability to educate, motivate and empower them to become inspired and productive citizens. Most of them have great dreams and all they need is someone to help them realise their dreams. Where necessary, uniforms and stationery requirements have been provided to ensure the children fit in with their peers. We visit the school once a week to find out about their progress, any special needs required, e.g. whether extra reading is required. Most importantly, we need to make sure that children are attending school everyday; if the children are sick, we try to help as best as we can. Below is a list of all the children at the orphanage. in the shade at Chipembere
