ZANE - an African Charity with a Difference

ZANE (Zimbabwe - A National Emergency) is an African Charity that focusses in on the problems affecting Zimbabwe, an African nation with a unique history closely entwined with the UK. Although serving an African nation, ZANE is a UK-based charity supporting projects in Zimbabwe.

ZANE Safe Water Project Click here to read how ZANE's safe water project is helping to keep the threat of cholera at bay in Zimbabwe, Africa.

African charity ZANE was established by Tom Benyon. Although not African himself and even though he has never lived in Zimbabwe, Tom was touched by the plight of the people in this African country and felt that he had to do something about it. Hence he set up the African charity ZANE.

ZANE has the support of many high-profile figures from government and the media - John simpson, John Humphrys and the former minister for Africa Lord Malloch Brown among many others.

ZANE stands out among African charities as being excellent at getting donor money to those who need it. None of the money that you donate goes near corrupt officials.

If you are looking to support an African charity, please consider ZANE.

ZANE is a small African charity and therefore a very efficient way to donate money to help Zimbabwe. Please donate today by clicking here.

2011 AFRICAN
CHARITY APPEAL:

**********

We needed their help in WW2: they need our help now

85 year old Mary Summerton* who is trapped in Zimbabwe, Africa.

Mary’s husband Colin fought with the South African forces in North Africa and Italy.

Colin was killed in 1944. Mary never remarried.

When ZANE found Mary in her tiny flat in Harare she was malnourished and ill.We arranged food. Then we took her to the doctor and arranged treatment.

She wept with gratitude to the ZANE donors who made this possible.

Mary is wholly dependent on ZANE for all her needs.

* We have changed the name for security reasons
