Dear Friends of The Zimbabwe Pensioner Supporter Fund,
Please find in good order our fifth trip report for the year from Michelle Mellet who did the round trip along with her uncle Neels Koekemoer on the truck. All the trip pictures are available here – https://www.facebook.com/www.zpsf.co.za. I hope everyone enjoys the ride along as much as I did. Thank you, to the entire team for making sure our Golden Oldies have something to smile about and to all our donors who ensure we are able to keep doing what we do!
Our team is due to leave shortly for our final trip of the year and we can’t wait to spread the JOY! Thank you so much to everyone who adopted a Golden Oldie or staff member for Christmas this year. It is of utmost importance for us to let them know they are remembered and loved over the upcoming festive season which can inevitably be an extremely lonely one. One pensioner at Boggies Trust in Gweru many years ago described what we are doing as “ CHRISTANITY IN ACTION”. On the Christmas Trip “when we also hand out a small present to each of our pensioners, one pensioner had this to say. “ I have family all over the world but the only Christmas present I had to open on Christmas day was The one from the ZPSF “.
Thank you for helping to make Christmas 2024 MAGIC

For those still wanting to make a contribution towards our Christmas trip or our January 2025 trip happening early next year please see all our banking details below. Our mission never stops and we have to keep the wheels turning.
Our Golden Oldies are part of an era that no longer exists, they stayed behind showing faith in a system, that not only let them down but totally ceased to exist. They have lost everything, farms, homes, life savings and in a lot of cases hope. This is where you come in, with your donations we show them that people all over the world still care about them. For most of our Oldies, those, separated from their families by circumstances beyond their control, Christmas is a time of particular pain and anguish which they try not to show on their old, aged faces. We try and ease the pain of our Golden Oldies as best we can by making their Christmas as special as possible and by making them feel a part of a family. They may not necessarily be friends or family but there is a worldwide network of supporters who make what we do possible.
