OUR GOAL
Support for kcv
KCV was established to provide a safe haven to orphaned, abandoned children or to children who were living in unsafe environments. Their purpose is to provide a safe loving home atmosphere for all their children. Children live in family groups at KCV where they have a loving Aunty who looks after the well being of her children. For the kids it is like growing up in a family with siblings. Our goals are:
- Give the children a loving safe environment to live.
- All children attend school, are fed and clothed.
- Children are nurtured and supported.
- Our greatest joy is to see the children grow and thrive!
about the cause
Khayelihle Children’s Village is a non-profit organization based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe that provides care and support for orphaned and vulnerable children. Founded in 1998, the organization operates a residential village that provides a safe and nurturing environment for children who have been affected by poverty, HIV/AIDS, and other social challenges. In addition to providing basic needs such as food, shelter, and education, Khayelihle Children’s Village also offers emotional and psychological support to children who have experienced trauma or loss. The organization’s mission is to empower children to become self-sufficient and productive members of society, and they do this through various programs that promote education, health, and life skills. Khayelihle Children’s Village is making a significant impact in the lives of vulnerable children in Bulawayo, and continues to serve as a beacon of hope for the community. Â

There is a desire to progress toward self sufficiency and the establishment of a dairy farm is part of that quest. At present, 19 cows are being milked producing milk for the orphans with the surplus being sold to raise money for the daily needs of the orphanage. Along with the cows KCV has also started producing crops with surplus crops being sold at market as well as establishing a poultry farm.

$50 nzd per month
Each orphan has multiple sponsors in a program that spans New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
Kiwilink has chosen to partner with KCV as a supporter of the work they do because we could see a need for a residential orphange in Zimbabwe. Every time we visit Zimbabwe we would hear about babies and children who were abandoned. Instead of starting a something new we decided to partner with KCV who were already established. Through funds raised in New Zealand, Australia and the United States extra facilities and buildings have been built to cater for the needs of more children.
If you can't commit to a monthly donation - we gratefully receive any donations.
HOW WE HAVE HELPED
Tawanda lost his mother and sole parent at age 15. With nowhere else to go he was turning to the streets to find food. But KCV heard about Tawanda and offered him a safe place to live. He said:
"...I found a home, family and friends in KCV as my life turned around."
