Our thoughts are with our partner, Mwana Trust, in Zimbabwe as a measles outbreak has killed 700 children since it was first reported in the Manicaland province - where Mwana Trust works - in April.
The outbreak hasn't affected school opening, but the Government is initiating a mass vaccination drive to capture those children aged between 6 months and 15 years who are unvaccinated. Mwana Trust estimates around 25% of the 300 children they work with are currently unvaccinated, so we hope they'll be covered by the ongoing vaccination drive.
We send our best wishes to all families affected by this outbreak and to Mwana Trust's brilliant team as they overcome this latest unexpected difficulty.

Last week, the Mwana Trust team visited Munyarari Primary School in Zimbabwe to distribute food parcels to some of the families they support. With plenty of children on hand to help unload the truck, the parcels were ready in next to no time!

In this week's Country Focus, we're turning our attentions to Zimbabwe where our partner is the fabulous Mwana Trust!
🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Location: Mutare District, Manicaland Province
Project: Education For All
🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Summary: We have a long-standing partnership with Mwana Trust whose focus is on education, child protection and the provision of psychosocial care to children who have often been affected by HIV/AIDS.
Zimbabwe has the 6th highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world which has led to many children being orphaned. In these cases, they often move in with elderly grandparents or even live by themselves as a "child headed family".
Mwana Trust is on hand to pay over 300 children's school fees, provide educational materials, distribute food parcels to the neediest families and even to provide psychological care and counselling from their teams of trained volunteers.
🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
In 2021, Mwana Trust provided rechargeable solar lights to each of the families they work with, so children can complete their homework without relying on expensive and unhealthy kerosene lamps, candles or open fires 💡 As well as helping to support their ongoing activities in 2022, we are also seeking funding to help them build a library hub at Rowa Primary School 📚
Your ongoing support means 300 children are able to regularly attend school. In the words of Sophia:
"I would never have been able to write my examinations if it had not been for the kind educational support that I received from Mwana Trust. My Grandmother was thinking of withdrawing us from school when Mwana Trust saved the day!"

In Zimbabwe, an extended post-Christmas lockdown meant schools were closed to combat rising Covid infections. Despite the school closures, Mwana Trust's Program Officer, Desmond, spent time with children's parents & guardians to discuss the "Role of Parents/Guardians as Advocates for their Children's Education".
Desmond reiterated:
✅ Parents are vital partners in education.
✅ They influence their children's attitudes about learning, and support learning at home.
✅ They are a vital link between home and school.
✅ When parents & guardians become involved in the life of the school, they make schools better places to learn, grow and thrive thereby producing a better and learned child in a community.

📚 New Library Hub at Rowa Primary School 📚
Thanks to a very generous grant from the EA Foundation , we are excited to confirm the imminent construction of a brand new Library Hub at Rowa Primary School in Zimbabwe in conjunction with our in-country partner, Mwana Trust.
Rowa Primary School is located in a rural village in the Mutare region. The school currently has no library and limited computer facilities, and as is seen in much of rural Zimbabwe, there is simply no culture of reading.
The school’s students are excited by the prospect of a Library Hub.
🗣️ 8-year-old Charity has “never seen or used a library”.
🗣️10-year-old Mavis says, “If we can borrow books and read at home, we will be able to access the world outside our villages.”
🗣️ Her classmate Mollen believes the library's internet access will “open doors to a world of information and knowledge, with opportunities of learning beyond the classroom.”
Our sincere thanks to the EA Foundation for their support of this collaborative partnership, and we are looking forward to sharing updates throughout the coming months as the project progresses.
In the meantime, read more here 👇

As we wrap up the year, we have much to celebrate. One of the most notable highlights of our year is always reflecting on the impact of the work we do. We shine a light on a pupil, Mary, who has proven that what we do is not in vain. When we adopted her into the Mwana Trust Family, she was not going to school and when given the opportunity she is doing so well we couldn’t help but share this encouraging stride! Mary lost her father and lives with her mother who survives by selling firewood in her community. Well done girl 👏🏽! we can’t wait to see what this 3rd term will look like.

Pictured is Vanessa, aged 11, a grade 6 pupil at one of our beneficiary schools, Rowa Primary narrates her ordeal. On Sunday the 31st October she watched her home burn to the ground after it was set ablaze. The fire broke out after a family argument arose and in retaliation an unnamed suspect set the hut 🛖 on fire . When they realized it was on fire, they managed to escape with just a few clothes and all else was left to burn. Her and her siblings Tanatswa in grade 3, Mazvita grade 1. All their books and school uniforms could not be saved from the destruction. Mwana Trust and it’s well wishers managed to gather bedding, children’s clothing and and a few pots to help this family. We celebrate the fact that no lives were lost. The family is still in need of more clothes, kitchen utensils and bedding as they plan to restart their lives.

We join hands with African Children's Fund in commemorating World Porridge Day on October 10,2022. Join us too!
🥣 Time for Porridge! 🥣
Kenyan school children are back at school after last week's half term break, and our partner, Watoto Kwanza Kenya, has spent a couple of days visiting some of the Porridge Club schools.
In this photo, one of the cooks at Kiama Primary School is preparing the daily porridge. As you can see, it has a much runnier consistency than porridge we are used to in the UK but the children enjoy it, and in a current chilly spell, it keeps them warm too.
Why not host your own fundraising Porridge Breakfast to celebrate World Porridge Day a couple of weeks from now? More below 👇

We are here to report back on our International Peace Day Celebrations as promised and oh boy did we have some fun. It has been exactly a week since these celebrations took place and below is an album of some of the highlights. Our afternoon of celebration took place at a local high school, Rock of Ages with full staff support and we could not be more grateful for the great work we managed to pull off because of this partnership. We laughed, sang and got deep into issues surrounding becoming peace champions inwardly and outwardly. Special thanks goes to our Director at Mwana Trust, for her hunger to constantly innovate and challenge, her team for rising to the occasion, Rock of Ages School administration and of course the children themselves who showed up and showed out in each activity. We had a peace discussion, peace quiz, peace art competition and the unforgettable speech and singing presentations. THANK YOU! TINOTENDA! SIYABONGA! Together we are so much better. we thank you for the partnership.

Thank you African Children's Fund for shining a light on this important and pivotal conversation that is happening right now in Zimbabwe. The reports show that this outbreak started in Manicaland where our organization does it’s work with children. The interests of the children are on our heart. The most notable challenge so far is the resistance by communities to the vaccination of children because of religious beliefs. This is apart of the calling for a “red alert” for child health as apart of the 25 million children who have missed vaccination against common childhood diseases as declared by UNICEF 2022.
💉 Measles vaccinations in Zimbabwe 💉
Our thoughts are with our partner, Mwana Trust, in Zimbabwe as a measles outbreak has killed 700 children since it was first reported in the Manicaland province - where Mwana Trust works - in April.
The outbreak hasn't affected school opening, but the Government is initiating a mass vaccination drive to capture those children aged between 6 months and 15 years who are unvaccinated. Mwana Trust estimates around 25% of the 300 children they work with are currently unvaccinated, so we hope they'll be covered by the ongoing vaccination drive.
We send our best wishes to all families affected by this outbreak and to Mwana Trust's brilliant team as they overcome this latest unexpected difficulty.

He was also receiving a pair of school shoes and a set of uniform for Allan a child in Gombakomba area whom he identified as needing assistance from the organization.
