Fund A Safe House for Young Victims of Abuse

Hello Supporters, Fundraisers & Friends of Action Change! 

Since our update in March, we've sustained momentum in providing safe shelter, education, and counseling to vulnerable children. The private-school initiative—Zimbabwe’s first of its kind—continues to recruit and support children from the most vulnerable circumstances. Our team has reached deeper into the community, ensuring more children receive critical identity documents like birth certificates, which was a key milestone outlined in the previous report.

With a steady flow of donations over the past 3 months we decided to focus on putting your amazing donations to work on:

Safety & Shelter: We expanded capacity in our safe house, housing 4 additional children referred by social services 

Education: Newly enrolled students have settled into classes, and our staff are closely monitoring attendance and performance.

Birth Certificates & Documentation: The initiative to deliver legal identity documents continues. We’ve helped 19 children acquire certificates, opening doors for school enrollment and access to healthcare. 

We are hoping that donations will increase a little more over the next 3-6 months as we have over 5,000 children currently unregistered. Registration is free but it costs us around $10 USD per chid in trnasport and a chaperon to take the child to the city to register them and complete the paperwork to get their first official ID. It's not an expensive program but we have so many children in need that it is going to take time and money but the impact is life changing as soon as they get their ID they can enroll in a Government school and access health care, although it's not the best in the world it is better than nothing!! 

As well as this we are really hoping to devlop: 

• Life Skills Workshops: Launching weekly workshops focused on self-esteem, rights education, and vocational awareness for our older children (ages 12–18).

• School Collaboration: Formalizing partnerships with at least two local schools to include safety, hygiene, and emotional well-being modules.

• Infrastructure Upgrade: Planning to enhance living quarters at the safe house—upgrading sleeping areas and installing a small library/study space.

Your generous contributions have ensured that every child in our program has been given the best chance at healing, learning, and hopeand we are not stoopping here.

Thank you for being apart of the solution.
