Empowering Rural Communities in Africa with Africa Vertical: A Journey of Hope and Transformation

In the vast and vibrant continent of Africa, amidst the struggles and challenges, there shines a ray of hope, a beacon of light that illuminates the lives of the marginalized – We started the Zimbabwe Farm Project as a proof-of-concept project in 2016. Over several years of success, we realized that it is a sustainable agriculture model that can be replicated in any community.

That is when we decided to rebrand to Africa Vertical. With each passing day, this 501(c)3 nonprofit organization is scripting a heartwarming tale of empowerment, love, and transformation in the lives of rural communities. Brace yourself for an emotional journey through the impactful work of Africa Vertical as it continues to dedicate itself to fostering food security, renewable energy, and organic farming initiatives.

Our First Clean Water Project

Our First Clean Water Project

Gaining access to clean water is at the heart of programs designed to improve people’s lives in regions of the world where water is scarce. Though this borehole eventually ran dry, and we subsequently had to drill an 80-meter/262-feet, the project was able to be launched because of clean water access. Women, their children, the families on the farm, and the chickens all rely on water, without which they would perish. Without the water from this well at the beginning of the project, we would not have achieved multiple annual successes. Our clean water initiative has enabled us to conserve the water resources, thus reducing the stress on the borehole and realizing greater efficiencies in terms of human productivity and crop yield.

Organic Sunflower Harvest

Organic Sunflower Harvest!

Sunflower harvesting has a long history; human beings have included them in our diet to augment animal feed. The women of the project manually harvested sunflowers using traditional methods. The project continues using permaculture farming techniques to empower women and improve their lives and their families.

Our Mission

Our Mission


 

The Zimbabwe Farm Project is dedicated to making the world a better place than the one into which we were born. We use 100% of all donations to fund aid initiatives in a rural farming community in Mazowe. We are a philanthropic 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization founded in 2016 by a social entrepreneur with a heart for Africa and a desire to improve the lives of women living in rural agrarian communities. As a daughter of Africa who spent her childhood years in Nigeria and Tanzania, it was vital for her to provide opportunities to women that were denied to her as a child because of her gender, which subjected her to the limitations of the societal construct in which she lived. The organization’s foundation is rooted in Pan-Africanism and a passion and commitment to the people of Africa. She and the Zimbabwe Farm Project team work tirelessly to administer projects that promote African peoples’ empowerment and self-determination. From these meager beginnings, when we privately funded the mission through family and friends and donations from supporters, the project has provided employment and food security to hundreds of women, enabling them to financially support and uplift their children and families. We are a growing but decentralized international team that works closely to build collective power for change through self-sufficiency and empowerment initiatives. We create sustainable solutions to address food insecurity through employment and women’s empowerment initiatives for people living in a rural agricultural community. Our mission promotes direct interaction within the local economy to create financial independence in balance with donor support.

The ZimFarm Project is a 501(c) 3 non-profit charitable organization, Tax ID # 82-0843418. We empower women through employment initiatives by implementing sustainable development and organic farming for food security.
