Empowering the most vulnerable children and their families in southern Africa
About us
Over the years since 2004 we’ve had many triumphs and successes. In this second decade of contribution we continue on to strengthen the impact of our activities.

Our vision
Our approach
To have a positive impact on the lives of children we approach our programmes holistically, hold children at the heart of everything we do and involve the community as much as we can.
Smiles .... and we are still counting 🙂
Families have been handed the tools by IMBA and are now self reliant
Kids take part in our Sports, Arts & Music activities
Children that partake in our programmes now have 3 meals a day & are going to school
Child & family care
Our family care programmes provide a carefully balanced setting for orphaned and abandoned children to grow up in. We do so by assisting households in the local communities with income generating activities. For those children that have been left to their own fate and have no close living relatives we have created a home-feel care solution at IMBA.
Sustainability
In addition to providing hands on training opportunities for participants in our community based child care programmes, our vegetable produce, meat, eggs, grinding mill service, crafts and sculpture sales have successfully earned us vital financial resources to continue operating our core programmes and activities.

Sports, Arts & Music
Our sports, arts and music (SAM) programme at IMBA has come a long way since those first day and is now Chitungwiza famous. Hundreds of kids enthusiastically attend weekly and voluntary coaches dedicate entire afternoons to imparting individual and group development skills.
Economic empowerment
Our projects seek to travel the extra miles to ensure long term settlement by handing people the tools to achieve self sustenance and enable them to care for their children in our community based family care programme. We aim to foster economic mobility for the communities supporting the children we work with.
