Ten reasons to support ZANE

1: ZANE does not supply money or food in bulk. Rather ZANE is a “relational” charity, in that we gently means test the 1,800 elderly people to whom we give aid. At the same time, we give encouragement to often very lonely people. That includes about 600 ex-servicemen and their widows/wives. In this way, ZANE ensures that only those who are really in need of support receive it and that we don’t waste donor money.

2: ZANE has lost no donor money to corrupt officials since its foundation in 2002. Support goes to where it's needed to make a vital difference.

3: ZANE employs 31 skilled and brave people in Zimbabwe. ZANE is the only charity that offers help to needy members across the community.

4: ZANE is the largest supplier of financial grants to the pensioner community in Zimbabwe.

5: In 2007-8 ZANE provided about £300,000 to fund its work. In 2009-10, as a result of demand driven by worsening conditions, this figure (including the valuable contribution made by the UK services’ charities) has risen to ca £1.3M.

6: ZANE is in effective partnership with all the UK services’ charities in Zimbabwe. Since 2004, ZANE has facilitated about £1.3m in grants to WW2 veterans and their widows (and others). ZANE donates a monthly sum to the British Legion Zimbabwe to enable them to assist ex-soldiers.

7: ZANE financially supports various Trusts which assist the elderly destitute.

8: ZANE operates primary care clinics in the High Density Areas around Harare, where there is extensive disease and poverty and therefore limited access to health care.

9: ZANE assists in the funding of an orphan prevention programme caring for widows, children and orphans.

10: ZANE assists in a cholera prevention programme funding boreholes to provide safe water. It also assists with a revolving credit system to enable people to become self sufficient.
