Zimbabwe today!
For the people of Zimbabwe, decades of saving ultimately resulted in the paltriest of sums – as the bankrupt government attempts to compensate its citizens. Zimbabweans will get $5 pension and life savings as paltry compensation from the government.

October 2019 Trip report – D Austen
With the Solar Light drive and its success, thanks to all Donors and participants, the Units distributed are still very much the talk of the towns centers, bringing communication to loved ones and light once to The African Sun Sets, as was said to me by a great number of folks, in and outside of the centers. They are tired and gatvol. They cannot live on promises not fore filled. Daily and without warning circumstances change, costs spiral out of reach, for not only the older folks, but the basic residents of Zimbabwe. What if any direction is the Country going?
2019 Christmas Adoption update.
It’s that time of the year again and we at the ZPSF would like to be able to make the upcoming Christmas of 2019 extra special for our pensioners. As a Fund we rely solely on donations to do what we do. We receive no funding from any Government organization.
ZPSF TRIP REPORT – JULY/AUGUST 2019
With the recent electricity cuts in Zimbabwe and our successful solar lamp drive, I got a sense of what Florence Nightingale may have felt as she traipsed around the Crimean hospital wards 160 years ago, bringing light to those in darkness, tending to the wounded. Our Zim Pensioners are in darkness and they’re also wounded. They are emotionally, economically, physically and mentally wounded and exhausted with their plight as old folk in Zimbabwe. Many of those I spoke to on this trip are just done with it all. When I asked a fellow in Harare (a successful non- Pensioner), who is normally upbeat and optimistic about the country, how he was? He said, simply “I am tired….”
June 2019 update on the ZPSF
We are in the last stretch before I leave with my other half (Johan Schultz) to go to Zimbabwe for my annual wellness check at all the Homes to see how things are going. This gives me the opportunity to check on special needs / meds requirements. I will also be sorting out the final details for the Solar kits to be distributed shortly all around Zimbabwe to the homes. We have only 95 of the 730 kits that still need to be sponsored, I am speechless and sitting here with tears in my eyes. You are all truly amazing, THANK YOU!!!!.
June 2019 Trip Report – D Austen
Once again, we are happy to report back to you our faithful supporters, donors and friends of the Fund. There is one thing that I have found on my recent trips is that no matter how much you prepare yourself mentally, for what you know you are going to experience, it is not enough.
