Though Patrick Makokoro came from very humble beginnings, he was inspired to make the lives of children in Zimbabwe better by championing the needs of these children, ensuring that they go to school, ensuring that they have food and also that they have access to health services.
In 2007, Patrick Makokoro founded Nhaka Foundation to carry our this dream.
Nhaka Foundation is a Zimbabwe-based non-governmental organization which has developed and implemented a series of interventions designed to bridge the gap between the government’s capabilities and policies mandating the requirement for early childhood development (ECD) programming in primary schools and its ability to fully realize the implementation of such programs.
Along with its partners, Nhaka Foundation provides access to education, basic health care and daily sustenance for the orphaned and vulnerable children in the communities it serves. It provides aid and support to ensure the creation of a physical environment conducive to learning, growth and the optimal development of all children.
Its mission is to educate, feed, and improve the health of orphans and vulnerable children of Zimbabwe.
Innovation Village met with this visionary founder recently and this is a video of the interview.
