The Run for Zimbabwe Orphans and Fair

This family event has been held each spring for over 20 years at benefiting the Makumbi Children’s Home in Zimbabwe.

The Run is now held at St. Francis High School, 1885 Miramonte Avenue, Mountain View.

Hey Zim Run team! Wow that was a fantastic event…I really enjoyed competing. This is my 15th or 16th time. So glad to see the kids of different ages running! What you guys are doing is literally a gift to the future of sport and running! It really is a joyful event! What a tribute too, to Bill and Ellen Clark!

2026 Makumbi Mission Home Report

Makumbi School Children

We are happy to share the 2026 Makumbi Mission Home Report in full please download to see photos and updates.

Makumbi Children’s Home is located 46 kilometers northeast of Harare at Makumbi Mission in Domboshava. It stands as a critical pillar of child welfare and protection operating as one of the Jesuit Social Apostolates. It provides institutional care for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children. It is rooted in Jesuit principles that emphasize conscience, commitment and being ‘people for others’ where dedicated caregivers serve as housemothers to the children.

We want to thank Sustainable Living Foundation for the incredible and unwavering financial support for the Children at Makumbi Children’s Home since 2000, ensuring their basic needs are met. Through your support, the Home has continued to serve as a vital sanctuary of healing, nutrition and empowerment for the orphaned and vulnerable children at Makumbi Children’s Home.

As Sustainable Living Foundation, with the guidance of Mr. Bill Clark prepares to launch the upcoming fundraising campaign, this report provides a comprehensive overview of the tangible impacts your contributions have achieved in uplifting the lives of the children at the home. Together we are breaking the cycle of vulnerability and poverty and equipping the next generation to better self-sustain themselves.
