Campaign Story

Child Future Africa (CFA) is a private voluntary organization founded in 2002 by George Seremwe. George Seremwe has a passion for community empowerment and development. Its establishment came in a bid to address the challenges faced by children especially orphans in Mashonaland Central. Child Future Africa operates in all the 8 districts of the province. Mashonaland Central lies on the northern part of Zimbabwe and it sits on a total area of 28 347 km2 and has an estimated population of 1 152 520 (Census 2012) representing about 8.5 % of the Zimbabwe’s population. Farming and illegal mining are the major economic activities, exposing children (1-18 years) to early marriages, child Labour, drug abuse, school dropping, sexual and physical abuse, forced marriages and orphans being the most affected as they are exposed to poverty, hunger and poor living standards entrapping them to the above-mentioned social evils. Child Future Africa has come up with several tailor-made interventions which seek to address the mentioned challenges and to empower young people especially orphans and vulnerable children to partake in initiatives that contribute to personal and community development for the betterment of their lives. Child Future Africa operates a orphanage shelter in Mt Darwin which houses 20 orphans from different parts of the province. The orphanage shelter is situated on a 10000 m2 fenced premise. The project runs 2 houses with 2 foster mothers. It is set up in a rural model with the shelter being close to a farm that produces grain for consumption and income generation. A school is situated in the vicinity of the shelter to provide education to the young minds and empowering them academically, for education is the only weapon that can prune them from the bondage of poverty. The main thrust and objective of Child Future Africa is to develop the orphanage home into a self-sustainable project that produces great minds and responsible citizens.
