Impact Stories
Beyond the statistics and the hospital wards are the voices of children like Jethro Mawire,Enhance Hungwe and Michelle Mayiseni children whose dreams were interrupted, but not defeated. Our impact stories go behind the clinical charts to show the power of a community that refuses to let a child walk the path of cancer alone. These are tales of families kept whole, transport barriers broken, and lives reclaimed through the simple, orange-tinted lens of hope.”
Current Initiatives
KidzCan Zimbabwe is continuing its fight by working on a number of new initiatives that will transform childhood cancer care across the nation. We are actively acquiring vehicles to ensure children can reach treatment facilities without delay, continuing our vital work on the Rainbow Children’s Village (RCV) with growing partner involvement to provide safe, dignified accommodation for families during treatment
Rainbow Children’s Village Phase three completion to boost accommodation
Acquisition of new vehicles to enhance capacity in provision of transport
New supply chains for chemotherapy drugs and the training of health workers
Increased focus on awareness at national level through MOU with ACCZ and othe organisations
We Can’t Do This Without You: Give a Child the “Right to the Fight
At KidzCan Zimbabwe, we provide our services 100% free of charge to families who have often lost everything to this disease. However, “free” to the family doesn’t mean “free” to provide. Every dose of chemotherapy, every CT scan, and every night at the Rainbow Children’s Village is made possible solely by the generosity of people like you.
