Goat breeding program
Microenterpise - Goat breading program
When we give two animals to a widow, the first-born offspring is then passed onto another widow. Any subsequent births after that are kept by the original widow.
Education opportunities
Making education accessible
Education is not accessible to everyone however we are increasing the number of children having access to education each year with great results.
Agriculture training centre
Agriculture training center
The Community center will become a hub for agriculture training and become self sufficient with the sale of the produce to support the program.
Underprivileged programs
Today’s students.
Tomorrow’s leaders.
Helping children is also a priority. “So far we have bought uniforms and sent 60 mainly primary-aged orphans in the remote area to school. We hope to help more orphans next year and this will include students who have dropped out of high school due to being unable to pay the fees.”
removing communities from poverty
Supporting those who support others.
Shekinah Helping Hand supports women and children of Matabeleland North’s Binga and Hwange districts which lie along the drought-prone Zambezi Valley. A goat, pig and chicken pass-on program that provides food and income to women. The goat program has been particularly successful, with thousands of goats now in the program. “We provide each widow two goats to breed”. “When she has 12 goats she has to pass on two to another widow.” Goats do well in harsh conditions and are not difficult to look after.”
