A group of mopane foundation beneficiaries in primary school level from various rural schools in Zimbabwe.
Mopane Foundation International (MFI), an international charity organisation founded in 2015 and registered as a charity in England and Wales (Charity no. 1167272) as well as a Trust in Zimbabwe (Number 000272). The organisation supports less privileged orphaned school-going children currently in rural Zimbabwe. It was founded by Zimbabweans based in the diaspora and the board of trustees some of whom have the less privileged backgrounds both in the diaspora and Zimbabwe
Our motivation is to ensure that children in remote areas can enjoy their right to education. Co-existing with government and other agency education support programmes, the organisation provides tuition support; school wear such as uniforms, jerseys, socks, shoes and underwear; school supplies and other materials to prepare the beneficiary students for a positive learning experience.
The organisation aims to ensure all fees are fully paid and that the kids don’t feel different from others, therefore buys them school uniforms, some writing materials and basic necessities such as underwear although it is not always financially possible. Secondary to that the organisation also aims to nurture and mentor these kids and prepare them for the world at large. The organisation has taken upon itself to ensure it that it assist all the beneficiaries to access all possible opportunities that children of their age across the globe have access to. It believes for the kids to compete in this world, they need to be out there in the world and have an awareness of the world beyond their immediate surroundings.
