Nhaka Foundation - Harare Zimbabwe

Hello and Welcome to  the Nhaka Foundation blog,


At long last, the website is launched! It has been interesting working on the website and putting into perspective the work we have been doing in Zimbabwe. I am very excited to be sharing the website to all of our friends and supporters here in Zimbabwe and abroad. Working with children in difficult circumstances is such a heart moving experience as on a daily basis you get to terms with how difficult life can be for the littlest and most vulnerable children. In days gone by I have been reflecting and engaging in conversations on the fragility of life and the difference we should all strive to make on the life of another human being. 


Someone shared with me recently that " a hundred years from now, it would not matter what her bank account balance was, the sort of house she lived in nor the car she drove but she would want to be counted on the number of lives she impacted and transformed" I think many a time we tend to focus on the earthly treasures and being selfish with the resources given to us and not reaching out to not only orphans and vulnerable children but also to the aged, widows, grandparent headed households, the poor and less fortunate members of our communities. These groups of people are not only found in Zimbabwe but all around the world sometimes being more apparent in the capitals of the "wealthy" nations of the world.


In this blog not only will we be giving you updates of our work, challenges we are facing, news on our programs and the children but we will also give some thought provokers that will get us out of our comfort zones so that we are spurred to give and help the less privileged members of society and most importantly be the difference we wish to see in the world!


"True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new."

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery


Happy surfing and let the conversations begin
