Support of aiding orphans in Zimbabwe via trustees and other people suitably passionate in the work.
Raise money for widows and Orphans in Zimbabwe. We concentrate on fund raising here in the UK. We have a few donors who contribute by Monthly standing orders mainly by word of mouth and a few one off donations. Helping Hands Watford Ltd supports the Charity by donations.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
They have extended the preschool up to Year 5 now in Zimbabwe to educate children and are hoping to extend this further. We have acquired more land and there is a plan to build up to secondary school and our hope is to progress each year. We continue to supply reading books, charts and other education materials for the school that are either bought or donated by patrons who support the charity. We pay towards the running costs of the school including staff salaries. Unfortunately, the current scenario in Zimbabwe hasn’t changed much plus the added problems due to Covid-19 is not helping either, which results in the school depending mainly on donations from our Charity. A big Thank you to Helping Hands Watford Ltd as they continue to fund Friends of Tariro, which has enabled us complete building another block. We have also bought a truck costing 18000 USD. We are creating employment and pay the teachers and the people who work in the farm.

Rudo Gray on the right with Zvareveshe, the Accounts and General Manager of the school, Pastor Kudzunai Kabunze (KK), Persistence, the school head who has now unfortunately left the school. She did great work to improve the school standard and brought good morale to the school. We thank God for her contributions which leaves another responsibility for the team to search for a new School head. Rudo Gray has to travel back to Zimbabwe in February 2023 to help them find and employ a new School head.
At the Graduation in December 2022, there was people from other Government schools and also the Ministry of Education who were impressed with the standards and how the school is progressing which I, Rudo Gray was very proud of with what we have achieved so far through our supporters and Helping Hands Watford Ltd. We thank God!

Section D Achievements and performance
We continue praying (Please see below)
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
- James 1:27(NIV)
[Prayer Points]
1. Current political situation in Zimbabwe
– God’s Intervention
Government decisions are leaving people struggling to feed their families and even sending them to school
2. God’s provision for the school’s teachers
3. Rain Fall was too much and has resulted in floods
4. Crops were wiped away and they are going to need more help
-
We continue to support the community by helping the people who need it the most and it’s always such a blessing to see their faces smiling.
-
We thank God that we can share with everybody.
-
To know that adults and children had food supply.
-
The Church have the responsibility of distribution of the food.
-
We praise God and thank Him for Friends of Tariro, without you we would not be able to see such smiling faces in Kazingizi.
-
God bless you all!
We also thank Mrs Rudi Gray and her loyal staff at Home Help Watford, whose contribution has been keeping the business working and the flag flying to allow Rudi to travel back and forward to Zimbabwe, without them she would be more anchored in the UK and perhaps we would not have achieved so much as we have. We are grateful for their patience and contributions too.
Thank you so much for all your love, prayers and support.
