💡Where It All Began: In 2015, Tatenda and Jerry Johnson opened their home in Harare to ten boys who had nowhere else to go. What began as one safe home has grown into a family of programmes walking alongside children, young people, women and families across Zimbabwe.
Walk for Hope is one of the ways our community keeps that work going, year after year.

💡What Your Support Makes Possible: Every gift raised through this year's walk supports FHA's work on the ground, including: 🔘Education: helping children and young people stay in school through school fees, books and scholarships 🔘Safe shelter: giving vulnerable young people a place to belong, including the Ruwa Home 🔘Early learning: reaching young children in communities like Mbare who have never had the chance to go to school 🔘Livelihoods: equipping women with skills to support their families 🔘Skills and creativity: opening new doors through coding, robotics and the creative arts 🔘Community care: training local leaders and care workers so hope continues within their own communities
At the heart of it all are relationships. We don't simply provide for people. We walk with them.
💡Why 24 Hours: The hardest hours come in the middle of the night, when it's cold, dark and quiet. For Jerry, that is the point. The walk is a small picture of what it means to keep going alongside people when things get hard.
