RIGHT NOW we are running a campaign to raise funds for a development project in Zimbabwe. The lack of clean water and functioning electricity has paralysed communities and is making life very difficult for families living in the high density areas of Harare. Families like ours. Francis is in Harare as we speak.

We want to bring stability to Gogo Mushonga (grandmother) by:
-
drilling a borehole in her own backyard to access clean water
We would also want to:
-
update appliances such as solar panel, fridge and stove
-
renovate her house
-
help her set up a garden shop in her front yard
​
​
Gogo Mushonga is the heart of the family. We want her to enjoy security and comfort and we want to do what we can to help her have more ease in her everyday life. We need your help and in return we offer you this:​
​
Your options to participate in the Clean Water & Co Campaign include:

What we want to achieve:
Goal: A BOREHOLE IN THE BACKYARD
Due to outdated infrastructure in the high density areas of Harare, it has become difficult and almost impossible to access clean water. As a result cholera has begun to spread. Drilling a borehole in Gogo Mushonga's yard would secure the access to clean water and prevent serious health hazards.
​
Goal: RENOVATION & UPDATES
Making necessary improvements to the home has not been an option due to fluctuating economics and a fragile infrastructure. The updates and renovation would secure a safe and secure base for Gogo Mushonga and her grand children that she is taking care of. Investments include: renovation of floors, walls and roof, solar panels, generator, fridge, freezer, stove and lights. One of Gogo's grand children has a university degree in engineering and he can lead the projects.
​
Goal: GARDEN SHOP
Small business opportunities are life savers in the high density areas where unemployment rates are as high as 80-90%. Setting up a garden shop would secure a regular income for Gogo Mushonga while helping the neighbourhood by providing local families with basic supplies. Both Gogo herself and her grand children would keep it up and running.
​
Your participation means a lot!

Before you go: We would very much appreciate your help in reaching people who are interested in art, creative coaching and making a difference.
Our goal is to raise as much money as possible while Francis is still on the ground in Harare and can help Gogo Mushonga with the improvements.

Thank you so much!
Camilla and Francis
