Empowering lives and building broken dreams of children impacted by parental incarceration.

Jedidiah Trust had the honor of participating in the AFWAG Zimbabwe Chapter Leadership Retreat held in Harare—a powerful space of reflection, vision, and collaboration among leaders of purpose.As an organization committed to restoring dignity and hope to children living with their mothers in prison and those impacted by parental incarceration, it was deeply meaningful to be part of a network of leaders who understand that true leadership serves the most vulnerable. We were especially inspired by the visionary leadership of Dr. Vongai Nyahunzvi, Founder and CEO of AFWAG, whose passion for empowering African women and girls is both true and practical.🤝 This retreat wasn’t just an event—it was an alignment of hearts and missions. We left encouraged, challenged, and equipped to continue the work of transformation, knowing we do not walk alone.To every leader we met, every story we heard, and everything we shared—thank you. The future is bright when leaders rise together in purpose.#JedidiahTrust #AFWAGZimbabwe #LeadershipRetreat #Harare2025 #ChildrenOfPromise #ParentalIncarceration #FaithDrivenLeadership #RestoringHope #WomenEmpoweringWomen #DrVongaiNyahunzvi … See MoreSee Less

Our CEO Mr Lovemore Chikwanda had the privilege of joining Regina Chisema and Sottovoce Ruach on “The Psychotherapist” to discuss a deeply important topic—loneliness in children. Loneliness isn't just an emotion; it's a signal that something vital is missing. When children feel isolated, it affects their emotional, cognitive, and even physical development. Addressing this early is crucial.Grateful for the platform to raise awareness and advocate for stronger support systems for our youngest generation.#ChildMentalHealth #LonelinessInChildren #ThePsychotherapist #MentalHealthAwareness #CommunityMatters … See MoreSee Less

I don't even know how to begin this. My heart is heavy. Mother's Day just passed, and while everyone was posting pictures with their moms, taking them out, hugging them tight—I was staring at the same photo I’ve had on my phone for two years. The last one we took before my mom was taken away.She’s in prison.Not because she’s evil or dangerous. Life just cornered her into a choice, and now she’s paying the price. And me? I’m paying too. This Mother’s Day, I couldn't see her. Not because I didn’t want to, but because we simply don’t have the money. Bus fare. Food. A place to stay near the prison for even one night during Family Week. It’s not that far, but when you're counting every coin to make it to school, it might as well be another planet.The hardest part? I can hear her voice when I close my eyes. I can feel her hug in my dreams. And then I wake up, and it’s just silence. Empty. I’m trying to stay focused in school. I really am. But sometimes, I just sit there and stare at the board and all I see is her face behind those cold prison bars. How do you learn maths when your heart feels broken in ways numbers can’t fix?I barely talk to anyone anymore. I get tired of pretending everything's okay. People think I’m cold or weird. They don’t know how it feels to carry so much sadness and still try to smile. I miss my mom. I miss our talks. I miss feeling safe.I know there are other kids like me in Zimbabwe—kids with parents in prison, kids who are forgotten, kids who carry shame that isn’t theirs to bear. This post isn’t for pity. It’s just me… screaming quietly into the void, hoping someone hears.To my mom: I love you. I haven’t stopped. I’ll never stop.I’m holding on. But it’s hard. Please… if you’re reading this and you still have your mom near, hug her a little tighter. Call her back. Don’t waste time. Because some of us would give everything just to sit beside our moms—even for one minute—on Mother's Day.#motherchildbonding #zimbabweprisonsandcorrectionalserviceU.S. Embassy Zimbabwe AmplifyChange World Vision Zimbabwe NANGO Zimbabwe ChildFund Embassy of Canada to Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Botswana Zambia Correctional Service Gray Homes Construction Gates Foundation … See MoreSee Less

A warm beginning…..but we are just getting startedToday, our hearts are full.Thanks to the generosity of our first donors, Jedidiah Trust has received blankets, pillows, carpets, clothes, shoes and kitchen utensils -the essentials needed to start building a place of safety, comfort and dignity: a Safe House for children living with their mothers in prison.Let that sink in – children behind bars. Not because they committed a crime, but because they were born into confinement. Because their mothers had nowhere else to leave them. These children share fear, the bars, the pain – even though all they have ever done is be born to the wrong circumstances.But today, a spark of hope has been lit. With your help, Jedidiah Trust is giving them a chance to live like children – to sleep on soft bedding, and most importantly play, laugh and dream in a safe place. We are deeply grateful to our first donors – you have planted the seeds of change. But the road ahead is long and we need your help to keep walking it.We are calling on you – friends, families, communities, businesses – to be part of something bigger. Donate. Share. Speak up. Help us give these forgotten children a new story. One of hope not handcuffs. Because No Child Deserves to Grow Up Behind Bars.To donate or get involved, please reach out or visit jedidiahtrustzim.org, call or WhatsApp on +263 776 395 941/ +263 714 893 898 or email jedidiahtrustzim@gmail.com.#zimbabweprisonsandcorrectionalservice #safehouseforchildren #everychildmatters #fromprisontopossibility #bornintobars #everychilddeservesachance #givehopetoday … See MoreSee Less

She didn’t choose this life—but she chose love.When her daughter was incarcerated, everything changed. Overnight, she became a mother again—but this time to her grandchildren. No pension. No savings. Just her hands, her heart and a quiet resolve that “giving up” wasn’t an option. She wakes up before the sun, mixing homemade detergents in old plastic buckets. She grinds peanuts into rich, creamy butter and sells it door to door. Behind her house, she’s raising chickens—each one a feathered hope for tomorrow. It's not much, but it's honest. It’s survival.She joined ISALS with Jedidiah Trust, and found more than just a savings group—she found sisters. Now, with Mikando, she's learning to grow, dream, build. She laughs more now, but her eyes still carry the weight of nights spent worrying—will the children eat? Will they go to school? She doesn’t complain. She doesn’t ask for pity. She simply keeps going. But she shouldn’t have to do it alone.This is a call to every kind soul reading this: support her work. Buy her peanut butter. Place an order for her detergents. Spread the word about her poultry. Invest in her dignity, not her despair. Let’s show her that love wins. That her sacrifice matters. That the world sees her.Inbox us to support her small business. Every like, share, or purchase is a step toward a better future—for her, and for her grandchildren. Because sometimes, the strongest people are the ones carrying silent stories of pain, resilience and hope.Fadzayi Muteve Mudiwa Hood @jedidiahtrustzim.org #SupportGrandmaEntrepreneur#MothersNeverRest#JedidiahTrust#MikandoMagic#FromSurvivalToSuccess … See MoreSee Less
