Chiedza provides access to education , protection, health, nutrition and economic empowerment services to orphans, vulnerable children and young people since 2001. The activities include early childhood education, second chance education for children out of school, vocational training for young people and formal tertiary education. For protection services, we facilitate birth registration, conduct positive parenting sessions and prevention and management of abuse cases. We ensure the well being of children and young people through support groups for children living with HIV, providing hot meals, dry food packs and nutrition training for caregivers. The parents are engaged in various income generating activities to help them boost household incomes.

Help with groceries for feeding orphans at our centre
We run a school feeding program for children attending second chance education program at our centre. These are children who dropped out of school due to poverty and we enol them for lessons. We reintegrate them back to formal schools when they are ready. During the second chance program, they need food so that they can concentrate in class. With over 1 million children out of school in Zimbabwe, there is a lot we can do. We are supporting 250 children annually. We need your support to buy groceries for the feeding program.

Sewing machines for adolescents girls and young women
Adolescent girls and young women face challenges of lack of skills to bridge school and employment. With the economy being at 95% non-formal it becomes a mammoth task for the girls and young women to make it in life without a skill. We are mobilising resources to buy sewing machines for a tailoring project for the adolescent girls and young women in the high density suburbs of Harare, Zimbabwe. At least 3 machines for a start will benefit 10 girls and young women every 3 months.
