Chandiwana Memorial Foundation (CMF)was founded in 2015 in memory of Chief Phineas Chandiwana and his wife Spiwe Chandiwana a couple whose passion was caring for the poor and vulnerable in society. Chief Chandiwana saw the introduction of ‘Zunde RaMambo’ scheme to feed Widows, orphans and the vulnerable in Masasa. He brought the community together to produce food which was then distributed to widows, orphans and vulnerable people. Spiwe Chandiwana started the Chandiwana scholarship in 2008 with the aim of sending orphans to school. Since 2008 until she passed on in 2014 Spiwe Chandiwana helped more than 30 orphans realise their dream of getting an education at Masasa Primary and Secondary Schools.
At the funeral of Spiwe Chandiwana her children agreed to use her Estate for the benefit of Orphans and vulnerable children hence the decision to launch CMF as a vehicle to continue her work. The family felt that they have a role to play with regards to children especially orphans who are not able to go to school in Masasa and surrounding areas. Having recognised the need amongst disadvantaged children in Masasa coupled with the desire to continue with the work started by their parents particularly in the education of children the family unanimously agreed to launch CMF.

Providing School fees:
The Foundation has continued to pay fees for the orphans who were being supported by Spiwe Chandiwana and has already began to increase the number of beneficiaries. The Foundation is working with the School Heads at Masasa Primary and Secondary Schools to identify and prioritise orphaned children in need of assistance. CMF is also linking with businesses and other prospective employers who may provide apprenticeships and employment opportunities for these children when they complete their education.
To achieve this we NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE to sponsor some of these children. The cost of sponsoring a child’s school fees, uniforms and books is $200 per year. 100% of sponsorship will go directly towards the education and care of children. At least 85% will go into the foundation Care pot, from which each child is fed, clothed and educated. Up to 15% may go towards supporting local schools. (This excludes accommodation costs for Children staying at the memorial village)
Providing Accommodation
We value the need for children to be raised in their own culture, religion and background supported by their extended family. However we realise that this is not always possible as the number of homeless orphans is on the increase in Zimbabwe. CMF will be providing a home for homeless orphans and vulnerable children at Chandiwana Homestead in Masasa, Chivhu, Zimbabwe (the ‘Chandiwana Memorial Village’). Children will be organised around family units with unit mothers recruited from local villages to maintain the children’s culture and religion.
Supporting local schools
As part of supporting the community CMF will be supports local schools by providing books, computers, school renovations and water. One of the pressing issues for Masasa secondary school is the need for water. The Foundation is already working with Frinton Free Church in the United Kingdom (www.frintonfree.com ) to build a borehole for the school.
