Project in Zimbabwe

  • Healthlink Worldwide (Formally AHRTAG)

    The HIV epidemic is having a devastating impact on poor communities across Africa as communities are weakened when people fall ill or die. Community-based organisations are key to tackling the crisis but need support to help them grow and develop. This project supports organisations across five countries, providing them with funds, skills and training to improve their services and reach even more people. This project operates in five countries, with a spend of £574,593.80 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £574593

  • Homeless International

    Over half of Africa's population now lives in urban areas. This project helps urban slum dwellers in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Namibia to address overcrowding, forced eviction, inadequate shelter, water and sanitation facilities. The project helps set up networks of slum dwellers who are then able to access to affordable loans which they can use to purchase land and build better housing. This process builds the confidence of members of the group, so they are better placed to lobby for essential services such as water and sanitation from local authorities. This project operates in three countries, with a spend of £1,000,000 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £1000000

  • Womankind Worldwide

    Women and girls across Africa face discrimination, inequality, violence and exclusion, and are disproportionately affected by HIV. This project supports two organisations, in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. In Ethiopia, the organisation tackles Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) by raising awareness and changing attitudes. In Zimbabwe, free legal advice is given to women who have experienced abuse, violence, or the loss of their late husband’s property. In both countries, the work aims to ensure women enjoy greater respect and status in their communities. This project operates in two countries, with a spend of £1,000,000 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £1000000

  • Zimbiala Trust

    The current political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe has caused civil conflict in the country. Many people are targets for intimidation and organised violence and torture. The project helps victims receive medical treatment and trains health professionals to improve their medical knowledge of this kind of violence.
