What we do



FOTHV provides school fees, supplies, uniforms, food, clothing, and health care to orphaned children in the Gatsi community. FOTHV educates orphans in Gatsi to be self reliant through its gardening and poultry projects. FOTHV creates relationships between orphaned children of Gatsi and their pen-pals of the United States, providing the children with friends abroad and helping them develop their English language skills. FOTHV provides a community of peers and elders for orphans in Gatsi, through which they gain strength and companionship in the midst of growing poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Zimbabwe.
