Makomborero

Makomborero (1122176) is a UK based Charity (unincorporated trust) that helps to relieve poverty through education in Zimbabwe, the charity is registered with HMRC for Gift Aid purposes. Funds are raised in the UK, largely from individual supporters, albeit the trust also receives some modest donations from donors in USA, Australia, Europe who are connected to the work. In order to deliver public benefit the charity partners with an entirely separately governed Zimbabwe registered trust/NGO "Makomborero Zimbabwe" - MZIM which receives grants directly from the UK, and fundraises within Zimbabwe and internationally (a Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the two organisations to support governance/control). At present the UK trust contributes c.50% of the Zimbabwe trusts income and operating costs (total annual budget in Zimbabwe is c.$250k pa) The Zimbabwean Trust, Makomborero Zimbabwe, was set up in 2011 by Mark and Laura Albertyn, to provide A-level education to talented students from orphaned and very challenging backgrounds. These students, study their A-levels at our partner private schools, Hellenic, Gateway and St George's, in Harare. The schools collectively give full tuition scholarships for 16 students each year. We ensure that the students are well provided with academic support, pastoral care and love to fulfil their academic potential and hopefully eventually give back to their own communities. The scholarships are life changing, for the individual students and their families. The purpose of Makomborero Zimbabwe is to provide educational support to academically gifted students who might have otherwise dropped out of school, due to the parents' economic hardships or death of a breadwinner in the family. Makomborero provides the financial support and aims to provide a holistic environment for the students to successfully complete their A level education and proceed to tertiary education. The team goes out to 70 - 80 high density and rural schools in Zimbabwe with applications and the students undergo a rigorous testing process. The top 8 students are awarded full scholarships while a further 16 are financially supported through local government schools.
