02 Activities

What the charity does

We work in Wales and Zimbabwe through a Welsh government scheme which has twinned Abergavenny with Chinamhora village in Zimbabwe. Fundraising activities include donations such as wheelchairs, school supplies, football kits, medical supplies and funding the building of a community centre for Chinamhora. In Wales we support the school curriculum teaching about African culture and Fairtrade.
