​What is a Safari Party and
​what is its purpose?

This event  is our Safari-themed gala to raise awareness and funds to make a lasting difference in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in Africa.

Last year we have started Step One of our long-term project in Epworth, a suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe. This high-density community is known for crime, abject poverty, multitudes of orphans and street kids, horrific abuse and neglect, and climbing rates of suicide among the children and youth. Girls, as young as 7 years of age, are often forced into prostitution for 10 cents a customer! We built a "Bridge School" for the orphans in this community, ages ranging from 7 - 15 years of age.

This school teaches them the basics of education with loving instructors and provides spiritual healing and wholeness. Some of these children have been rescued from forced prostitution and trafficking, but the psychological damage can be long lasting without intervention. Eventually they will transition into a government school for their higher education, but before that can happen, they have to learn the basics. Here they begin their journey of hope where they receive the education, love, psychological and spiritual help they so desperately need.

​What are the projects this year?
​"The Journey Continues"

This year we have 2 projects!
1. Step Two of the Bridge School in Epworth is to make it locally self sustainable. This means we need to purchase property ($7,000) and then construct a greenhouse ($6000). Crop production with greenhouses is a great income generation in rapidly growing urban centers like Epworth and Harare. One green house, when the crop is ready to harvest, can bring in an income as much as $2000 per month. This would completely make this school self sustainable.

2. Vocational Training & Housing. With our other project in Harare, we already have one greenhouse which is providing income to fund scholarships for older orphan boys who are put out on the street when they turn 18. These young men, while they have an education, do not have any job skills nor a place to live. They need vocational training and transitional housing while they are learning a skill. We need to purchase property ($7,000) plus construct a transitional home for them to live in for up to 2 years ($15,000).

Already we have one greenhouse going with English cucumbers for this project; however, the long term plans are to add an additional 3-5 greenhouses so that both the training and the housing expenses are fully funded for these young men.

Will you Partner with us to make these a reality? We need to raise $35,000!
