The Collen Mashawana Foundation: A 14-Year Journey of Hope, Dignity and Impact

We are pleased to see that the donation made by the Collen Mashawana Foundation and Hon. Themba Mliswa has been used to purchase school uniforms for the children at Rock of Ages Trust in Melfort, Goromonzi. Education remains a powerful tool for change, and we are proud to support initiatives that restore dignity and opportunity to vulnerable children. #CMF #CollenMashawanaFoundation #Zimbabwe #Education

The Collen Mashawana Foundation continues to support underprivileged communities across several African countries through various humanitarian and development initiatives. In Zimbabwe, the foundation is making a positive impact by improving the lives of vulnerable individuals and families through programmes aimed at enhancing living conditions, promoting dignity, and creating sustainable opportunities for communities in need. #collenmashawanafoundation #CMF #harare #zimbabwe

Today, I had the privilege of visiting Rock of Ages in Melfort, Goromonzi, Zimbabwe, and witnessed the incredible work being done to care for vulnerable children and restore hope to families in need. Together with my colleagues from the @CollenMashFound , we donated food, clothing, toys, and beds for the children. This is just the beginning of our partnership. Rock of Ages is one of many centres and community initiatives that we will be supporting as we expand our efforts to fight poverty and improve lives across Zimbabwe. The visit was also a reminder that, as Africans, our struggles and aspirations are deeply connected. At a time when immigration issues continue to create tension in South Africa and elsewhere, we must remember that our humanity comes before our borders. Poverty and inequality know no nationality, and the solution lies in unity, compassion, and collective action. Let us choose kindness, love, and understanding towards one another. Africa is strongest when we stand together and uplift those who are most vulnerable.

Speaking during the visit, Dr Collen Mashawana emphasized the importance of African unity and collaboration in addressing poverty and inequality. He called on individuals, organisations, and leaders across the continent to work together in creating sustainable solutions that uplift vulnerable communities and ensure that no child is left behind. “When we unite our efforts and resources, we can create lasting change. The fight against poverty requires collective action, compassion, and a shared commitment to restoring dignity and hope to those who need it most,” said Dr Mashawana. #collenmashawanafoundation #CMF #Zimbabwe #Harare #Africa

7. The Themba Mliswa Foundation, led by former Minister Honourable @thembamliswa also pledged its support by assisting the centre with compliance processes and engagement with relevant government structures. In addition, Honourable Mliswa committed to sponsoring beds for the children to improve their living conditions and overall well-being.#CMF #Africa #Zimbabwe #Harare #collenmashawanafoundation

6. Following an assessment of the children’s living conditions and the centre’s ongoing needs, the Collen Mashawana Foundation (CMF) has committed to supporting the institution on a sustainable basis. As part of this support, CMF donated food supplies and toys to bring comfort and joy to the children. #Africa #Zimbabwe #africa #Harare #collenmashawanafoundation

5. Today, the centre operates a school serving 150 learners, offering literacy programmes and education from Grades 1 to 6. It also provides boarding facilities for 24 vulnerable children and accommodation for four dedicated teachers who continue to nurture and support the learners in their care. #CMF #collenmashawanafoundation #Harare #Zimbabwe #Africa

4. Rooted in faith, dignity, and community empowerment, the organisation has touched the lives of more than 1,000 children over the past 18 years from the streets of Mbare to the farming communities of Melfort. Many of these children, aged between seven and fifteen, faced significant challenges, including being out of school and living in unstable or unsafe environments. #CMF #collenmashawanafoundation #Africa #Harare #Zimbabwe

What started as a humble act of kindness has since grown into a comprehensive community development initiative that provides educational support, boarding facilities for vulnerable children, pastoral care, food security programmes, skills development, and sustainable agricultural livelihood projects. #Africa #Zimbabwe #Harare #collenmashawanafoundation #CMF

3. Driven by compassion and a deep commitment to serving the community, Founder and Director Pastor Junior Gwenhe opened her home to children who had dropped out of school, were living in unsafe conditions, or simply had nowhere else to turn. #CMF #Harare #Zimbabwe #collenmashawanafoundation #Africa

2. Founded in 2006 and formally registered in 2007, Rock of Aves began as a ministry dedicated to sharing the Gospel. However, it soon became clear that spiritual support alone could not transform the lives of children facing hunger, unsafe living conditions, and barriers to education. #africa #harare #zimbabwe #collenmashawanafoundation #CMF
