Donations to our foundation will be used to realise our mission:
The (temporary) material and immaterial support and advice to people in situations of poverty or hopelessness due to lack of water, electricity and/or health to promote self-reliance and independence in Southern African countries, including in any case Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Besides donating you can be involved with the foundation as a volunteer.
In 2022, the Mpilo Foundation will start several volunteer programmes, creating a secondary network of volunteers willing to donate their time and energy to the foundation. Volunteers will be involved in promoting the foundation, finding creative funding methods, learning about Zimbabwe’s problems, and achieving their own goals.
If you want to volunteer, please send us your details and any specific wishes on our contact page.
In 2020 less than 1% of your donation went to overhead costs, which mostly consisted of bank and transfer related costs.
In 2021 a maximum of 10% of your donation will go to overhead costs. This means that 90% of your donation will directly be invested in realising our mission.
