Programs
Livelihoods
Zimbabwe has faced food insecurity due to persistent droughts and economic downturn, to floods and cyclones as climatic events have increasingly become an issue globally over the years.
Health and Nutrition
Child Protection Society (CPS) has a history of supporting children affected by or living with HIV. Key components of supporting this group of children are ensuring access to treatment and care services, as well as nutritional support.
CHILD PROTECTION
Children may be separated from their families in various ways. Child Protection Society supports these children in their time of need through the identification, profiling, family tracing and reunification of children separated from their families. This work is done in conjunction with the Department of Social Development of the Ministry of Public Service Labour and Social Welfare. Once reunified, children are followed up to ensure that the family has integrated well thus preventing secondary family separation
CHINYARADZO
Based in Highfields, Harare, Chinyaradzo Children’s Home was established in 1962, and serves as a place of safety for unaccompanied and separated children whilst awaiting family tracing and reunification. Children housed at Chinyaradzo include abandoned children, children living with HIV, survivors of SGBV, and children whose primary caregivers are unable to care for them due to mentally illness or imprisonment, amongst other causes
Education
One of the basic rights of children is the right to education. Child Protection Society works to support the fulfilment of this right through the implementation of education related programs supporting the most vulnerable communities
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM (YEP)
The YEP targets vulnerable youth including young mothers, survivors of child marriage and other sexual gender-based violence with Asset Building. This is a series of sessions which build youth’s financial, cognitive, social and health assets.
