ABOUT US
Who Are We
Our work aims to break the vicious cycle of poverty and social isolation and to restore hope for a better future. We believe that every child has the right to access resources and opportunities in order to live and develop with dignity and become an active and contributing member of society.
Words from our founder (Vimbai Munautsi)
“I’ve always looked with admiration at those people who were taking part in hostile contexts to help other people. I feel satisfied in doing something concrete for those who really need it. My goal is to make children feel valued and loved through giving them an education and to engage them in the world around them in a meaningful way.
Fundisa is not just a children’s foundation, we are building a family and a home for the underprivileged. I’ve dedicated my time and resources towards a great cause, a cause that combined with the similar actions of others can bring about changes in the world.”
Mission and Purpose
We seek to help the underprivileged children by providing them with education assistance in whichever way we can but we are not limited to only that, we also seek to just make the lives of children better in any way possible with guidance and sometimes financial assistance.
We also instill Christian values in our children, as that is part of our base as an organization and we feel a lot of the values taught in the bible contribute to the sound up-bringing of children
Our Aim
As an organization, we aim to be able to help children in Zimbabwe with basically anything that makes their lives easier, although we have chosen education as our main target, we are not limited to it. We noticed a need in our communities that most children end up being forced to work for a living at a tender age and which ends up disrupting their education and ultimately their lives.
So we believe with education as our main target we can prevent a whole list of other problems being faced by children and our country.

Fundisa has underlined 4 Main Goals.

Our Goals
- Provide quality education for the underprivileged and displaced persons
- Build a school, build a better future for Zimbabwean youth
- Promoting gender equality
- Increase IT Access and use in vulnerable communities
We aim to provide quality education for the underprivileged and displaced persons, currently our research shows that this group of people are behind the education curve.
In Zimbabwe everyday there is a child below 18 years losing their access to education. And being met by language barriers. At times, discrimination in new school systems creates a great risk of a lost generation.
Fundisa aims to offer education and support integration in host communities., so that no generation is left behind and every child gets an equal chance to a better life.
Our goal is to build a better future for Zimbabwean youth. Education is a basic human right yet those who need education the most are children living in poverty, these children are the least likely to attend and complete school. Across Zimbabwe, many children have to choose between getting an education and being safe, without classrooms they are forced to study under trees and in all weather. They are exposed to the elements, distracted and unable to learn.
By the year 2025 Fundisa Children’s Foundation plans on building a school with safe and secure classrooms so that children can focus on their learning and their futures. With the help of sponsors, partners and well wishers our aim is to play a pivotal role by delivering life changing opportunities that so many children deserve.
Displaced women are an especially vulnerable group left behind. They experience greater risks of physical and sexual assaults, and face discrimination when trying to access a range of basic rights to build their future on. Our goal is to educate and raise awareness for young girls who are vulnerable, to give a voice to young girls who are voiceless and fight for their rights.
Under the SDG4-Education 2030 framework for action, information and communication technology (ICT) is highlighted for its cross-cutting role in improving inclusiveness, equity and quality in education. One of Fundisa’s goals is to narrow the digital divide which can be defined as “the gap between those who have access to information, communication technology and are using it effectively, and those who do not.” In this 4th industrial revolution, economies are now backed by technology and those who do not posses technological skills will be left behind. By 2025 we should have significantly increased IT literacy rates and make sure the FUNIDSA school will allow children from marginalized communities to effectively use technology.
Through the #AdoptAPupil campaign our goal is to put kids through Primary and Secondary school. We will be sourcing donations and sponsorship to help pay for tuition (yearly), buy uniforms, and basic necessities for some of the children we have reached out to. As a team, we plan on preparing the next generation for the economy and future, we are mentoring and raising the future doctors, engineers, pilots, lawyers etc in these small communities.
