Zimbabwe Orphan Care was established in Harare, Zimbabwe in 2000 by Alan & Dorothy Graham, originally from Belfast. In a world where the problems seem overwhelming, ZOC seeks to offer housing, schooling, clothes, food and water, hope and love to some of the 800,000 orphans currently living in poverty in Zimbabwe. We believe that all the money raised should go to this cause so we have no administration or staff costs outside of Zimbabwe where we offer much needed employment to over 20 people. 2009 saw the opening of ‘Jabulani, our first home in Harare for abandoned babies, and through this we have been able to offer ‘life’ to these new born, abandoned orphans, without which they would surely have died. With your help we can make a difference.
