Chiedza Child Care Centre Zimbabwe

Chiedza Child Care Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe was founded in response to the escalating need to practical help for disadvantaged children. The Centre aims to provide a caring home for vulnerable children and to assist the carers of children in dire circumstances with immediate needs while empowering them through income generating projects.

The name “Chiedza” derives from the Shona name meaning light – appropriately underlining the positive philosophy and objectives which drive this project in the face of the daunting challenges of HIV/AIDS and poverty caused by deteriorated economic circumstances in Zimbabwe. Chiedza is currently supporting 750 orphans and 250 grandmothers who are looking after these children.

• In 2009 Daybreak Rotary donated $4000 AUD to various Cheizda projects.
