About our projects

Bongai Shamwari means Thank you friend!

And describes the deep friendship which exists between people of Zimbabwe and Germany since 1985. In the early years Christa Zeller and her family lived in Zimbabwe for 5 years. Since then she supports the kindergarten with her donation project. Despite political and economic problems this close bond remains unbroken.

Our Vision

If you want to build a ship, then don’t gather people to distribute work but convey the longing for the endless ocean.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Sustainability

… means awareness of the environment. We wish to use what we have resourcefully. Water and electricity have to be used wisely. Avoidance of garbage, esp. plastics is an important aspect of child education.

Culture

… be proud of your culture – is our slogan. Diverse traditions such as music, dance, ancient knowledge and craft skills need to be preserved in Zimbabwe. This heritage has to be passed on to next generations.

Inclusion

… is acceptance and respectful togetherness across cultures and religions. Particular focus is on girl and woman empowerment, as well as integration of disabled children who have very limited opportunities in the Zimbabwean society.

Ein kleines Symbol für Gemeinschaft mit Handschlag

Community

… means strengthening our human environment through education. Exchange with other kindergartens and nearby community is meant to strengthen the sense fo togetherness. Our women empowerment project, and parent participation in exchange for scholarship are central aspects of our work.
