Campaign Story

Goshen children’s home is under Highfields church of Nazareth, which is under the leadership of Rev and Mrs Mutatu. The Church was offered land after a sponsor noted the work the church was embarking on in terms of feeding programs in the community. 300 children were being fed in 2000 in Highfields high density suburb in Harare through the church feeding program.

Apart from the feeding program, the church was also running Philadelphia 1 and 2 children’s homes, hence the birth of Goshen farm, to expand the work through sustainable projects and establishment of Goshen children’s home. Goshen children’s home then became part of Philadelphia group of children’s homes, run by Highfields church of Nazareth. The home was registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare as a children’s home in 2011. It sits on 400 hectares of land where various farming projects including animal husbandry projects and poultry production are conducted to sustain the group of children’s homes.
Currently the institution has a capacity of 31 children who are housed at the institution. A primary school is also run within the children’s home.
