Mission & Vision

Our Mission is to empower vulnerable families and their children with self sustaining projects for self reliant communities. We will then Identify the and assess the best form of aid we can dispense. As we are still only operational in Zimbabwe our vision is to have self reliant communities with restored dignity and hope.

History

The plight of those who lose a partner or a parent mostly gets scant attention in some African societies where either widows or orphans gets overlooked by both state and society. The ability to look after themselves is however not diminished but the opportunities are very limited. Visits to Africa exposed the lack of support for the said groups. Hope for African communities was founded to help real people on the ground by presenting them with opportunities to better themselves

HAC is governed by a board of trustees with a wealth of varied experience in international development, charity finance and commerce.
