The Zienzele Foundation

Zimbabwean women's groups whose efforts provide education for 800
orphans. Our Mission: To help orphans and their caregivers achieve
self-reliance and a better life.

Zienzele Baskets
Women in our groups weave beautiful,
traditional baskets, and 100% of the purchase price pays school fees so
orphans can gain an education. Read this letter from a recent customer:

"... When I see my Zienzele basket displayed in my dining room, I think
of its story. It once was a growing plant in Zimbabwe. Then it
was touched by creative fingers and thread and shaped into a
bowl. With the help of your organization, it made its way to a crafts sale, where it was chosen by my girls. It offers me
bread for dinner, just as it has offered children the gift of education
and a better life.
"Please tell those children that I am a mom too - a world away - but we
are all family on this Earth and I wish them health and happiness - and
good grades! Your community has brought smiles to my family's
face!"
