Case studies profile Kabissa members that inspire our volunteers and the entire Kabissa community. They are meant to provide Kabissa’s members with key learnings and spark ideas and discussion.

In this case study, we tell the story of The Nhaka Foundation, a Zimbabwean organization committed to caring for the neediest members of society, orphans and other vulnerable children by providing them with food, education and health care.

A Happy Ending for Grace

Submitted by Kirsty McLullich on 6 March, 2012 - 15:08

When I received the news on Saturday, I knew exactly what our success story for this week had to be!

Little Grace was found in a local market when she was just two weeks old back in January 2008. All wrapped up, she had been left at the petrol station during the night and was found in the morning by a passer-by who took her to the police station.

Grace was the first new baby to come to the St Andrews Baby Unit after it opened in November 2007. For the first two months the matron, Lucy, and her team had been working with some of the younger children from Kandara Children’s Home to get used to their new surroundings and set routines in place. With Grace’s arrival came the start of preparing formula and changing nappies. Within a few months there were many more babies requiring the same care.

Today is World Food Day.

For some people food is something to be experimented with – creating mouth-watering dishes, entertaining friends, savouring flavours… For others food is a daily challenge, trying to scrape together enough money to buy something for the family to eat, knowing that they will never be satisfied.

Why the choice of football for the World Cup is a missed opportunity

Submitted by Will Prochaska on 1 July, 2010 - 15:28

The 2010 World Cup was widely hailed as Africa's World Cup, and rightly so. After all, this is the continent's first ever hosting of the event, and many optimitistically looked forward to the benefits, both economic and social, the event would bring to Africa. Sadly, however, a great chance was missed when the decision was made to use the Jabulani ball rather than a ball made in Africa.
