They have subsistence economy, with villagers living in basic thatched mud huts. There is no money to pay for schools or teachers.
Ndiadzo School
Around 700 children are currently taught under trees and in temporary thatched shelters. The church has long since been supporting education in the village and the government is happy that they develop and run a proper school.
Because the team will be living and working within the community, they will get much more "quality" time with a fewer number of people.
We will be building a primary school building for the village of Ndiadzo, on the Mozambique border. It will offer room to teach the 6-700 pupils currently being taught outdoors or in makeshift huts. The village want permanent school buildings and have done their best, baking local bricks. But they have no money to buy cement and steel for a permanent structure. We will be spending most of our time hard at work on the building site, to provide them a school building as quickly as possible. When it is finished the local church will provide teachers.
Planting Seeds for a Forgotten People
Meanwhile on the mountainous outskirts, the people of Nidiadzo have been all-but-forgotten, scratching out a living in a mountain valley. Like the rest of Zimbabwe they dream of a better future.
You can offer the people of Nidiadzo that hope by building them a school. Join them in the village for a fortnight. Share their hopes and dreams – and work with us to make some of them a reality.
