Easter appeal 2023 - Classroom time for Zimkids

Easter is fast approaching and we have a need we'd love your help with...

In Zimbabwe crippling school fee costs coupled with cultural pressures to send children to work mean many children don't receive an education at all. At Zimkids we're working hard to change that and to give children hope for the future. This Easter, More Blessing (8 years old) and Wakanaka (6 years old) would like your help to enable them to achieve their dreams.

Watch the video  here check out our Easter appeal page  here for more info and to donate.

Thank you for making the world of difference.
