Katsukunya is a school in Mutoko on the East of Zimbabwe 8 Kilometers from Mutoko growth point. The School has 7 year groups, two classes per year, with over 50 students sharing 10 text books. Some students have to write on the floor in the dust. We bought rubbing boards to allow for decent lessons. We pay school fees for over 250 children!

Community Projects
In the past years we have run chicken, rabbbit, fishery educational workshops, We also started a community bakery. The bakery is to prepare over sixteen year old's who did not progress to A level with skills to become independent.
We have a computer lab with 6 laptops. The laptops help the A level students prepare for University. The University assignments like most Universities are done online. However some of the children get a rude awakening when they get to University and they can not touch type or use a computer at all. Our aim is to ensure they are equipped for when they conduct their studies at University.
Sport Mentor Programme
We have a sport mentor programme. We assist our underprivileged children with sport equipment and transport money in the bid to excel in chosen sports abilities. In the past we have handed out over 500 pairs of football boots, over 600 football wear and over £2000 worth of transport money . This is to empower the young boys and girls to attend sports trials when they excel. Our success story is we have over 22 boys and girls who now play for teams in Division One football and are now able to earn a living.
Counselling and Mentor Support
We have counseling and mentor support. Most of our children have had a tough life. Sometimes they just need someone to talk to. We have an open door policy and we also offer support through family sessions. The generation gap when biological parents have passed on can be challenging. Our counseling and mentor support ensures that our children are well equipped to deal with the current changes and the ability to overcome some differences in opinion.
