Non-formal education

We run an accelerated second chance education program for out of school children who fail to start school  by 8 years and or drop out of school before completing primary school. The program support a child for an average of 24 months before reintegration into formal schools. The reintegrated children are supported with school fees payment for the initial 2 years before the parents are able to take over school fees payment. The program supprts an average of 100 learners annualy.

b) Part Time Continuing Education

We assist secondary school learners who fail to transition from primary  to secondary  and or fail to complete secondary school to complete secondary  school through our non formal  education  community  school.  The children are supported through the part time continuing education alternative learning pathway model where they are assisted to complete O’level without being reintegrated into formal schools. When they are ready to sit for public exmas, they are assisted to register as external candidates at formal school centres. Upon completion  learners are either supported to proceed to A’ level or vocational training. The program supports on average 100 learners per year.

Vocational Training

Learners who complete O’level and desire to pursue vocational  training are supported to undergo training through registered vocational training institutions.

Tertiary Education

We support  learners who excel at A’ level to pursue  tertiary level education  at various universities  in Zimbabwe.

Peadritic HIV programming
We strive to ensure that HIV positive children remain on treatment to prolong life.  We form support groups for children and adolescents to improve treatment adherence and retention to prolong life. These are co-facilitated by health personnel at the drug collection health facilities. For children under five, we run early childhood stimulation sessions which are health facility based to improve mother to child communication and stimulation to ensure that  HIV positive  children are supported to remain on treatment and those that are negative remain negative.

Feeding
We run a soup kitchen where 2 hot meals are provided to an average of 200 children daily  for 6 days  a week  throughout the year. Dry food packs are provided to families in extreme poverty especially households with children living  with HIV

Nutrition training
Nutrition training  sessions are done by health professionals for caregivers to improve caregiving techniques at home.

Health assessments
We conduct health assessments for children to screen children  of any ailments including  malnutrition.

Sexual Reproductive Health Rights
We work with young people  and health facilities to increase demand for uptake of sexual reproductive health services while strengthening the supply  side for quality youth friendly service provision.

We also advocate for change in laws,  attitudes,  practices,  policies that impede access to youth friendly service provision  at national level.

We engage in partnerships and build networks for increased coverage of sexual reproductive health rights programming.
