Community Development
Although the shops are now full of food in Zimbabwe, most people can not afford to buy it because of the high prices! There has been much food aid to Zimbabwe recently but this has created some problems of dependency. For this reason, ZANE is focussing on projects to facilitate the creation of sustainable communities. This began in the high-density areas surounding Harare and other major cities and is now expanding to include rural villages as well.
ZANE projects include primary health care/HIV-specific medical clinics; home visits and home-based care training; support groups and education; nutritional supplementation; training in food production/nutrition and the seeding and support of income generating projects.
Pensioner Support
There are some 6000 old aged pensioners in Zimbabwe.
Their position is desperate and grows worse daily. Some are in receipt of devalued pensions from the Zimbabwe government; but the rate of inflation is out of control and the elderly have no way of keeping pace. ZANE is providing personalised means-tested care for desperate Zimbabwe pensioners.

What they are saying about ZANE:
I have seen a little bit of ZANE’s work on the ground and what I have seen is very, very impressive. ZANE is one of those lovely organisations that makes a small amount of money go a very, very long way. It’s not my job to recommend one organisation over another, but what is perfectly reasonable to say is that ZANE is a good cause and the money is properly and well spent
John Simpson CBE
World Affairs Editor of the BBC
ZANE is an organisation well worthy of support. They have provided
desperately needed relief and help to Zimbabweans in
recent years. The need remains very great and until normal government
returns to Zimbabwe, organisations like ZANE help fill a serious gap in
social provision
Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind QC MP
former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
I have long been an admirer of ZANE and its valuable work in Zimbabwe.
As the country's crisis has deepened, ZANE has continued to provide vital
humanitarian support to the needy. Whether it be essential food and
medicine for the older, vulnerable community or palliative care for
HIV/AIDS sufferers, ZANE provides the lifeline without which many
ordinary people struggling to survive in Zimbabwe would surely have
perished. The fact that they continue to do so with such modest human
resources makes their work all the more extraordinary.
Rt Hon Lord Malloch Brown KCMG
Former Minister for Africa, Asia and the UN
ZANE is an extraordinary charity set up by inspiration and continued by sacrificial love. I have been enormously impressed by the vision, the hard work and the unquenchable spirit of everyone I have met. There is no escaping the need. What matters is an equally serious response from people at all levels of society. ZANE is making such a response and I gladly put my name to the work these splendid people do. If we were equally motivated to make a difference to those in need, the world would be a much better, fairer and healthier place for us all to live.
The Rt Revd John Pritchard
The Bishop of Oxford
