Day of the African child
Zimbabwe and the continent recently marked the Day of the African Child on 16 June 2022 whereupon Precious Hearts Haven joined the continent in celebrating this important historical day.
The day of the African Child has been commemorated under the theme Eliminating Harmful Practices Affecting Children: and this day coincided with the recent Zimbabwe high court ruling that increased the legal age of sexual consent from 16 to 18 years which we as an organization greatly appreciate. In the spirit of commemorating the day of the African child.
We continue to redouble efforts and act with a sense of urgency to reduce and end all forms of women and girls abuse in Zimbabwe, particularly in marginalized communities.
The recent Constitutional Court’s ruling in Zimbabwe and the High-Level Political Compact to end violence against women and girls launched end of last year give us hope and willpower to continue our work in making a better world for all women kind.
We have started renovations on a 7-roomed house we identified. We would like to purchase good second-hand furniture so that we can start to accommodate those women in need of a temporary safe place. We are looking for USD 1880 to cover all necessary items needed for a 7-roomed house.
