UK Charity for Zimbabwe's Children
Every child deserves a chance to learn.
Hundreds of thousands of children in Zimbabwe face barriers to education because their families cannot afford school fees, examination fees and essential learning materials. Mtima Heart Foundation removes these financial barriers by paying school and exam fees and providing learning supplies, helping orphans and underprivileged children stay in school and build brighter futures.
£37 covers a child's school fees for one term. Every donation, whatever the amount, helps keep children learning.
Our Mission
Removing the barriers between a child and their classroom.
Zimbabwe remains one of Southern Africa's most economically challenged countries, and many families struggle to afford school fees, examination fees and essential learning materials. Poverty continues to prevent hundreds of thousands of children from accessing or completing their education, with around half of adolescents aged 13–19 currently out of school.
Through direct partnerships with schools — beginning with Chaedza Primary School in Chinhoyi — we pay school fees and examination fees, and provide essential learning supplies directly to schools and suppliers, ensuring transparency and helping children stay in the classroom.
