Care for someone is a Zimbabwean Children's charity. It was opened in 2001. Its prime focus when it started were girls, but however they have since moved to the inclusion of boys.
In the face of challenges like, unavailability of education to some Zimbabwean children, higher HIV/AIDS prevalence rates, as much as 1.6 million children without parental care, many juveniles becoming breadwinners, high unemployment rates and almost 0% welfare support. It is almost as most of the children are destined for a life of destitution, exploitation, prostitution, mental health problems and substance abuse.
Care for Someone notes vulnerable young people from poor families and rolls out a care plan. However, the organization discourages the 'dependency-culture' by supporting families up to a time of self support.
One of their methods include- providing agricultural seeds and tools for growing crops that will be sold and the money used for paying school fees. But, prior to the families' self-sustenance, Care for Someone will be providing schooling and uniforms; books and stationery and in some cases, food and clothes.
The organization has no 'administration costs', and all donations go to help support a family and educate children.
They're currently operating in Ruwa, Harare, Murewa & Kwekwe and they're supporting children aged 5-18 years old (In preschool, primary and secondary education).
