    We are looking for volunteers that can assist us running our community projects long term.  Anyone that is eager to help coordinate and realise our empowerment projects is welcome to join us. If you would like to join us, but cannot stay for min 5 weeks, we offer a two weeks volunteer program as well! 


    Your work will involve assisting us with all our projects, these are many and varied and you will be working with and alongside locals.


    1) Building refurbishment and repair, we have several buildings at our site including lodges, shops and outbuildings.  We need to do work on many of them to get them ready for use by the trust.  We could also be going into families homes and schools to help with maintenance and building projects.


    2) Income generating projects, we run several projects at our centre including chickens, goats, rabbits and vegetable gardening.  You will be shown how the projects work and how to manage the projects. You will be involved in training others and setting up the projects with families in the community.


    3) At certain times of the year we are planning to hold holiday clubs for our sponsored orphaned children, you will be involved in running the club and interacting with the children and their families/guardians.


    4) We will also be working with local schools and there could be the opportunity to work with the children assisting in classrooms and with games.


    There may well  be times in the year when you will be left in charge of the projects and asked to manage those working with you.

    Om projektet

    Come and experience rural Zimbabwe while working with vulnerable local communities, widows, schools, orphans and vulnerable children.

    Möt din programledare

    We are a young Trust working in rural Sanyati and need your help setting up and helping run some of our community projects. We also get involved in building and refurbishing projects.  You do not need any particular skills, just a willingness to get your hands dirty, get involved & be flexible.  Things will and do change!

    You will be able to visit some of the people we are working with in their homes and see how the projects are making a real difference in their lives.   Also visit and maybe do some work in local schools, find out from the teachers and students what rural schooling is like in Zimbabwe.

    WARNING: We are in a very rural setting, with very basic accommodation and utilities.  We have solar power, running cold water (cold shower is available & can heat up water for you to wash with if you wish).  We eat from the land (no MacBurger King here!!).  Internet is limited, as is phone reception, so if you want all mod cons this is not for you, but if you want a real rural experience then look no further!

    I spent two months, from September to November 2019 with "Ratidzo Foundation Trust" in Zimbabwe. The organization focuses on community development in a rural area in Zimbabwe called Sanyati.

    This was without a doubt the best weeks of our life. My husband and I spent 2 weeks with Ratidzo Trust with Edline and Richard and we both agree that we took more than what we gave. We learned so much about gardening, construction, social work and taking care of animals. We also learned how to be ...

    In June 2023, I spent two eye-opening weeks in Sanyati with the Ratidzo Foundation. The organisers, Edline and Richard, gave us a very warm welcome and immediately made us part of their daily work. The work of the Ratidzo foudation trust is to improve the lives of the people of Sanyati. To do this, ...
