At the start of the COVID pandemic, Sam Murozoki started feeding the children on her street. Lockdown forced millions of Zimbabweans into hunger and Sam's neighbourhood in Chitungwiza was hard hit. Within days thousands were queuing outside her house for breakfast and dinner and over the last two years she’s served more than 3 million meals.

Most families are now able to support themselves again. But not all. Sam continues to feed on average 750 people every day - 520 children and 230 elderly people, from 80 families who have not managed to bounce back. She is paying school fees and rent for 19 children, who now rely on her entirely.

Sam spends all her time hustling for donations. She needs USD 3,253 per month to keep the meals, school fees and rents going.
But she has a plan to make Kuchengetana Trust self-sufficient by growing crops and producing meat at a farm outside of Harare. She also plans to build a children’s home for the orphans she is supporting, which will also serve as a base for other projects, like making soap, to give women an opportunity to earn a living.

“Someone needs to buy into the vision of how I want to remodel Kuchengetana Trust,” she told the UK's Guardian newspaper in March 2022 . “I want them to stay under one roof so that I can help them effectively. From these 19 children will grow a new crop of Zimbabwean, someone who is enterprising. But we do not have a ladder to move to that point. All we want is [to be] self-sustaining,”
