The Kuchengetana Trust started in April 2020 to help those who couldn’t afford a daily meal. Sadly, that need has not gone away, and over a year later we continue to serve thousands of meals every single day from our make-shift kitchen in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe. We are 100% reliant currently on donations and are enormously grateful to each and every individual and corporate who has given to our cause. It costs USD200 per day to provide free meals to the underprivileged, and our team of 10 volunteers works from 4 am to 9 pm. Not only do we provide free meals, but have also been able to help out with clothing and other basic amenities when funds have allowed.

The vision for The Kuchengetana Trust is to gain self-sustenance and empower the families that frequent the kitchen. That way we will not need to necessarily cook for them daily, but only when the need arises. We aspire to own or rent a farming space where we can carry out income-generating schemes such as a fully-fledged piggery and fish project, which will also create much-needed jobs.
