Nurturing Safe Spaces For Children For Over 100 Years

Empowering children with love, guidance, and the tools they need to build a brighter future. At our Home, we provide a nurturing environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive on their path to independence.

While We Cannot Replace a Normal Family,
We Strive to Provide the Best Possible Substitute

Harare Children’s Home offers care and refuge for children in need, acknowledging that while it cannot replace a traditional family, it strives to provide a nurturing and supportive environment. Many children come from difficult backgrounds, facing abandonment, abuse, or parents who are incarcerated, unwell, or deceased. Some arrive malnourished or battling illnesses like HIV or asthma. In partnership with the Department of Social Welfare, the Home cares for children from infancy to age 20, equipping them with skills in areas like sewing, computers, and business to help build a brighter future.

How You Can Support Harare Children's Home

Gardening Project

This project is designed to provide nutritious food for the children at the Home while also teaching them valuable survival skills. By growing their own produce, the Home ensures a steady supply of fresh vegetables, with any surplus being sold to generate income to support ongoing needs.

Poultry Project

The Poultry Project contributes to the children’s nutrition by providing fresh eggs and meat. It also serves as a hands-on learning experience, equipping the children with essential life skills. Excess poultry products are sold to raise additional funds for the Home.

Event Park

The Home is developing an Event Park on unused land to boost self-sustainability. This space will be available for rental, generating steady income for the Home. The park is nearing completion, with assistance still needed for the construction of an ablution block, which has been approved.
