Negove Ngungumbane Nyamondo Project, Zimbabwe

See the progress you helped make happen in your sponsored community

When the project started, many families experienced food shortages lasting several months. Schools lacked classrooms, desks and books, and many families did not have clean water or healthcare nearby.

Thanks to your support, your sponsored child and other children in the Negove Ngungumbane Nyamondo community have improved access to education, clean water and nutritious food and their families have more opportunities to earn income.
 

Together we've achieved so much

The textbook to pupil ratio in secondary schools has fallen to 1:2

This is down from one textbook for every 10 pupils in 2013.

  • The project worked closely with the community and local authorities to build a secondary school, 14 primary classroom blocks and teacher housing. 26 schools were supplied with textbooks and stationery.
  • The most vulnerable children in the community were supported with school fees so they could continue their education when their families faced income challenges.
  • Community awareness campaigns about the importance of education were conducted and many parents now have much stronger motivation to earn enough money to cover their children’s education costs. 

The child immunisation rate was 80 percent in 2017

This is up from 48 percent in 2003.

  • The project supported construction of a new health clinic and repaired facilities at another clinic . Most families now have a functioning clinic within 5km from home.  
  • 15 new boreholes were drilled, 13 existing boreholes repaired and 50 wells dug to increase clean water access. Four solar-powered schemes pipe water from the boreholes to schools, health clinics and the wider community. 
  • 30 volunteer village health workers have been trained to provide basic maternal and child health services and health education to families living in their local area. 

79 percent of families now own livestock

This is up from 28 percent in 2004.

  • 600 cows and nine bulls were supplied to help improve livestock farming in the community. 
  • 4,000 farmers learned skills in crop production. Improved crop seed varieties have also been distributed to help increase the size and quality of harvests. 
  • Nine community vegetable gardens have been set up to increase the supply of nutritious food available for the most vulnerable families, especially those caring for children orphaned due to HIV and AIDS. 

"I can now sustainably cater for my children’s educational needs and provide well for my family. I really appreciate World Vision for this project. It really transformed my life."

- Dube, farmer, aged 45 

How a goat transformed Emmanuel’s life 

Emmanuel was a sponsored child in Grade 7 when his family received a female goat through the project to help them improve their income. 

They started breeding goats and quickly built up a herd of eight. Having goats to sell meant Emmanuel’s family could cover household expenses and manage when times were tough. 

Even after Emmanuel’s father passed away from tuberculosis in 2013, his family was still able to pay for his education by selling goats. He completed high school and went on to study for a Diploma in Geology. 

Now Emmanuel runs a successful gold mining business with his uncle. He has renovated the family home and is taking care of his four younger siblings, all of whom are in high school. He plans to further his education by studying project management.
