VISION
Healthy Communities for A Healthy Nation
MISSION STATEMENT
FACT Zimbabwe is a Christian-based national organisation working in and through partnerships to improve health and reduce poverty among people affected by HIV and related issues in Zimbabwe and beyond.
CORE VALUES
The OVC and Livelihoods program seeks to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS by providing comprehensive sustainable continuum of services to Zimbabwe’s orphaned and vulnerable children. The sector is implementing the CHILDREN TARIRO (CT) programme, the DREAMS initiative which targets Adolescent Girls and Young Women and the FAITH AND COMMUNITY initiative targeting Faith Based Organisations, community and traditional leaders; young men aged 39 years and below.
The CT initiative provides socio-economic interventions that reduce vulnerability to HIV and AIDS, contributing to HIV epidemic control in Zimbabwe. DREAMS is designed to ensure girls develop into Determined Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe women. Implemented in 6 districts of Manicaland (Mutare, Makoni, Mutasa, Chipinge and Buhera) and Masvingo (Gutu) CT and DREAMS initiatives seek to contribute towards the 95-95-95 World Health Organisation targets towards HIV epidemic control in Zimbabwe.
To date, CT has reached over 130 000 OVC and their families through education assistance, sustainable economic strengthening and caregiver baby pairs have received Early Childhood Stimulation and Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services.
Guided by the Zimbabwe National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan (ZNASP IV 2019 -2023), Pillar 2 seeks to reduce HIV risk among vulnerable groups which include women, men, youth, the disabled and children also empowering these groupings to claim their right to access critical continuum of services. The listed units under H & W directly provide services and support in areas where FACT Zimbabwe operates

Our Executive Director, Gertrude Shumba handed over COVID-19 materials to Manicaland Province’s Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services which included 50 meters of material to make up to 800 masks, liquid soap and 24 bars of soap.
The materials donated are part of the organization’s efforts to compliment Government of Zimbabwe’s efforts to slow the spread of the respiratory illness that has not spared the Prisons and correctional services.
