Ten reasons to support ZANE

1: In 2007-8, ZANE provided about £300,000 to fund its work. In 2008/9 as a result of huge demand, this figure has risen to £800,000.

2: ZANE employs 17 people throughout Zimbabwe just on the OAP work, whose role it is to visit, care for and assess the needs of about 1,800 aged in Zimbabwe. That includes circa 600 ex-servicemen and their widows. ZANE interviews each person individually, ZANE representatives contact relatives direct and beneficiaries are only put on the books after weekly meetings of ZANE staff. The support given often includes medicine, cash and food. In the last 12 months ZANE has purchased and distributed circa £170K of food to the client base.

3: ZANE gave 22,000 grants, food parcels and medicines in 2008/9.

4: ZANE is in effective partnership with all the UK services charities in Zimbabwe. Since 2004, ZANE has supplied circa £1m in grants to WW2 veterans and their widows. ZANE donates a monthly sum to the Legion Zimbabwe to enable them to assist the Bush War soldiers.

5. ZANE has eight staff involved in the provision of care to cholera victims and to HIV/AIDS sufferers.

6: In addition, ZANE is one of the only charites offering medical support to the elderly community in Zimbabwe. ZANE supplied about £30K pa of medicines in the last year. ZANE also keeps an emergency £10K on standby for emergency medical treatment.

7: ZANE has lost no donor money to corrupt officials since its foundation in 2002 and all aid has got to where it was intended to go, that is where it has made a vital difference.

8: ZANE pays the salaries of eight nurses at the Athol Evans home as well as supporting the Michaela Rose Medical Trust in Bulawayo, and the provision of food parcels for their workers. ZANE supports financially the various Trusts.

9: The total amount of support that ZANE provided in February 2009 alone (including food and nutritional supplement packs) was over $100K. This figure excludes the amount paid for fuel for all the field work and delivery systems

10: ZANE is the only charity operating in Zimbabwe that offers help to all sections of the community.
