Midlands Children Hope Project is a norwegian based nonprofit organization run by and for volunteers. We are working to give youth and children in Zimbabwe education, we have built a new sustainable orphanage for the previous street children, and we are working in the local communities to prevent more streetchildren. By investing in the people we are building communities. Today we have 12 unique projects, and 8 locally employed zimbabweans through our Zimbabwean trust, Midlands Children Hope Trust. The local ownership is the foundation to our projects, and the goal is to create a model that we can bring to new locations. 100% of the donations through our sponsorship goes directly to the projects in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is a country in Sub Saharan Africa, bordering to South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia. In a matter of a few decades, Zimbabwe went from being the breadbasket of Africa, to become a country with big political, economical and social instability. The difficult situation have affected the most vulnerable in the society the most; the children. This especially due to the HIV and AIDS epidemic, which left one out of four children orphaned. As a direct result, you can find many children in the streets. The boys are often used by the police to perform criminal actions, while the girls are owned by illegal miners. To make the situation even worse, it is illegal to be a street child in Zimbabwe.
