About Us

Based in Bel Air, Maryland, USA, "Chabadza: Healing Hands Across Zimbabwe," is dedicated to providing sustainable care and health education through the building, training and staffing of a medical facility in Munyarari, Zimbabwe. We plan to help educate and serve 23 nearby villages. Through a partnership within our community, the local tribal leadership, African University and the Zimbabwe United Methodist Church we plan to build, educate and train the local community to help themselves.

Since our founding in November, 2005, at Bel Air United Methodist Church, Chabadza has raised over $75,000.00 The Baltimore/Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church has pledged matching funds of up to $100,000.00

We already have the land and architectural plans have been developed. We have established Zimbabwean governance for the project in collaboration with African University, Mutare and the Zimbabwe United Methodist Church. More initiatives are underway to reach the anticipated cost of over 1.1 million U.S. dollars.

A place of learning and healing.

Our vision began with the Munyarari Mission: two schools and a United Methodist Church, serving more than 1,300 children, many of whom were orphaned by AIDS.

The next phase is to build a permanent, Christ-centered, health clinic serving Munyarari and the 23 surrounding villages. Our effort is a partnership of local tribal leaders, the Christian community, African University, and the Zimbabwe East Conference of the United Methodist Church.

The medical facility will bring life-saving treatment, pallative and hospice-like care, plus disease prevention and health education. It will also help train medical and public health personnel from African University in Mutare, so more Zimbabweans can receive vital disease prevention education and medical care they so desperately need.
