Core Values

The Zimbabwe Farm Project is dedicated to leaving the world a better place than the one we were born into. 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 women’s lives in rural agricultural communities. We use social entrepreneurship to create food security and employment and foster education and economic empowerment in rural communities.

We are a growing 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 in rural agricultural communities. Our mission facilitates program participants’ ability to engage in the local economy to create financial independence in conjunction with donor support.

A team of farm project managers and a diverse board manage daily oversight of in-country programs. We use donations to provide direct financial support and training to program participants and profit-sharing in agro-processing initiatives. We believe it is incumbent upon us to improve our lives and strengthen our countries by leveraging traditional sustainable living solutions, utilizing renewable energy, and investing in real people who will be empowered to uplift their families, communities, and nations.

Visit our ‘Fundraising Campaigns‘ page to learn about the initiatives for which we currently require funding.  These include sanitation improvements and hydroponic and vertical farming to decrease our carbon footprint while scaling the model for replication in other African countries.

We use 100% of all donations to fund aid program initiatives, and donations are the lifeblood of our continued efforts to sow positively into the lives of others through sustainable development, permaculture, organic farming, and employment. We appreciate your willingness to donate to support women and to join us in making the world a better place than the one we were born into.
