Kariba Animal Welfare Fund Trust (KAWFT)

 

KAWFT was formed in 2010 by three passionate Kariba residents, for the purpose of raising funds and awareness on treating and helping injured or distressed wild life in the Kariba area. In conjunction with Parks & Wildlife an anti-snaring patrol was established in mid 2011 to combat the ever increasing numbers of animals reported to be carrying snares.

The anti snare patrol, made up of a ZPAWA Ranger and two KAWFT rangers, operates 5 days a week. In the unfortunate event that wildlife is found to be injured or at risk, we take immediate action.

The Tony Waite Organisation

 

The Tony Waite Organisation was formed after the death of Tony Waite a Kariba resident who suffered full blown AIDS and went public about his HIV status in 1991. He was born in 1935 and died at 57 years of age. He worked for Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) in Kariba and left a will to look after orphans. He grew up as an orphan and never got married and died in January 1992 which saw the formation of Tony Waite Foundation in 1993. The Organisation went into partnership with Batsirai a private voluntary Organisation operating in Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West Province and scaled up its activities in National Action Plan for orphans and vulnerable children (NAP for OVC) 2007-2010. This was funded by UNICEF. The Organisation continued to grow and was registered as a Private Voluntary Organisation in 2011 ( PVO 45/11) Tony Waite Organisation is currently operating in Kariba, Mashonaland West Province of Zimbabwe, Africa and now has since worked with a number of donors and partners.

Greenwood Park

 

Greenwood Park was started in 1964 by a group of Harare Round Table 1 members, and is an ongoing project which is still run by RT1, as both a community service and as a method of raising funds for charity. The park is an exhilarating place for children and the young at heart and is open Wednesday to Sunday, and Public Holidays, from 08:00am to 4:30pm.

Many are familiar with the Park from their childhood days, which has continued to run through the many challenging year of recent times, thanks to the support of RT1, the staff at Greenwood Park and the various sponsors over the years. The park is run on a sustainable basis, where profits generated in previous years have gone towards charity. The park unfortunately has fallen on hard times due to the harsh economic climate, which has affected the majority of stakeholders including informal traders of the area, the public in and around The Avenues and schools from as far flung as Chinhoyi and Bindura, who take field trips to the park.
