AREAS OF FOCUS
Pensioner Support
The plight of the elderly is one of the less publicised outcomes of Zimbabwe’s social, economic and political collapse. There are many institutions for the aged spread throughout Zimbabwe, most of them are dependent on various levels of external funding to survive.
The Zimbabwe Aid Fund (ZAF) was established in 2006 for the sole purpose of raising funds to support the pensioners in Zimbabwe. The plight of the elderly is one of the less publicised outcomes of Zimbabwe’s social, economic and political collapse. There are a number of institutions for the aged spread throughout Zimbabwe, most of them are dependent on various levels of external funding to survive. In addition to the retirement homes, there are many elderly Zimbabweans still living in their own homes that are also dependent on donated food parcels for their survival.
The money raised by the Zimbabwe Aid Fund (ZAF) is used to fund the purchase of food for the pensioners. The Committee will also look to contribute funds to all worthwhile priority projects for the pensioners including equipment and medicines. The funds are sent to SOAP in Harare and Bulawayo who purchase the food and make up the parcels for delivery to the pensioners once a month. ZAF does not support individual requests.
