Why sponsorship matters
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.
​​
Yet, thousands of children in Zimbabwe lack access to basic necessities like education, nutritious food, and basic healthcare. Through VANA Ministries, your sponsorship provides children with the support they need to break free from poverty and build a future full of hope.
VANA’s Shared Sponsorship Model
At VANA Ministries, each child is supported by more than one sponsor. This shared sponsorship model ensures that children receive the holistic care they need—including school fees, regular meals, general healthcare, and community support—while making it more affordable for individual sponsors to contribute.
Your sponsorship provides:
Education:
School fees, uniforms, and learning materials to give children access to quality education.
Nutritious Meals:
Ensuring children receive regular meals that contribute to their health and development.
Clean Water & Healthcare:
Safe drinking water and access to general healthcare for a healthier life.
Community & Hope:
Helping children grow in a nurturing environment where they feel loved and supported.

Real lives transformed through sponsorship
Esther’s Story
Before sponsorship, Esther struggled to attend school because her family couldn’t afford school fees. Today, she is thriving in her studies and dreams of becoming a teacher. Thanks to shared sponsorship, she has the consistent support she needs.
From struggle to success
John was malnourished and often sick. Thanks to sponsorship, he now receives daily nutritious meals and has grown into a healthy, energetic young boy.
