Makomborero

One of the things that was missing from our project till now was a charity that we were going to donate our profits to....  Our contributor Nicky provided us with the perfect one!  She sits on the board of Makomborero.

" Makomborero is a UK registered charity that helps to relieve poverty in Zimbabwe, Africa through the education of children. The late Nelson Mandela said that “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.  In a country where life expectancy has fallen to the mid-30s and recent economic and political developments mean that 90% of the population is now unemployed, only 34% of children in Zimbabwe are able to complete their schooling.  Makomborero means "blessings" in the local Zimbabwean language, Shona, and what greater blessing for Zimbabwe’s children than to give them hope for their futures."

This charity is not just one where the money goes into a pot for administration, but they have had a number of success stories over the years and one of the students (who is now in university) has consented to let us publish his words in The20Project.

Giving kids hope is a powerful gift.  I am please and privileged to be a part of something that will make a difference!!!
