ZPSF January 2026 Update

Dear Friends & Supporters,

On behalf of all of us here at ZPSF, May 2026 bring you so much joy and success in abundance. Happy new year, let this year be a source of encouragement, joy, and positivity for all. Here’s to 2026 year filled with new opportunities, personal growth, and shared happiness.

Please find in good order what we are up to at the moment. While we are very carefully watching the weather and rain levels, we are keeping busy with our upcoming February trip planning and stock orders. We however at this stage cannot move any stock for fear of water damage, especially via the transporter going over the Zims border and the condition of the roads that side. So we are sitting with a bit of hurry up and wait.

As we go into our 24^th year we look forward to another year of bring much needed food aid and joy to our Golden Oldies still in Zimbabwe.

There are tons of thank you’s, pictures and videos on our FB page from this past Christmas trip –  https://www.facebook.com/groups/pensupzim. I have attached Johan & Frans Schultz and Neels Koekemoer’s trip reports in the meantime so one can get the feel of how awesome our Christmas 2025 delivery trip was.

As usual there were a few organisations / people that were a huge help in ensuring the Christmas trip was the success it was:

1. All our supporters and donors who sponsored the Golden Oldies and staff boxes
2. Darling Romery and their incredible donation toward the Christmas trip
3. Colbro Bulawayo who assisted with a fuel donation
4. Concrete Solutions in Harare who assisted with a fuel donation
5. Heymans Kole in Hectorspruit who assisted with a fuel donation
6. Tau Meule from Brits for their donation of 12.5kg bags of maize
7. To the Rhodesian Services Association of WA and Neville for the use of their bank account
8. Our 2 wonderful teams who run the UK branch via Ann & Beti-Ann and USA branch via Angelique & team, both of these teams are invaluable to us
9. Rhodesians Worldwide magazine & Chris Whitehead for helping us keep the memory alive, you can support them by subscribing to Chris on rhodesiansworldwide@gmail.com for $25 per year

Lets be honest, without everyone’s assistance these wheels would not turn and we are so grateful to everybody who assists us in which ever way possible. As most are aware 2024 was an incredibly difficult / emotional year for the fund and our Golden Oldies in Zimbabwe who’s tenacity is once again being tested to the max, but we are still here and on we shall go no matter what. For those who have been supporting us for a long time you have seen the regular trip reports, read all about the challenges, trials and loses we have had. This is not an easy undertaking by any means and trust me we take all the losses very personally. However, with everyone’s support out there and your continued prayers we are managing to keep doing what we do even in these unprecedented times.

The office had a soft opening on Wednesday the 12^th and the first while has been spent catching up on everything missed during our shutdown. All official thank you’s have been sent out, please if you have not received yours please let us know. We are currently preparing for the first trip of 2026 which is currently being planned to happen mid-February, we are just waiting on a few stock orders and then it’s a go.

These food hampers serve 2 purposes.

                               1   They supply much needed food to the pensioner.

                               2   The pensioner then knows that someone cares about them
