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

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

“I commend the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service for boldly acknowledging that our prison environments are not conducive for development. This is a truth we see every day in the lives of the innocent children growing up behind bars or in the shadows of the justice system. These children are not inmates yet they are confined. They are not guilty yet they are punished. Their physical, emotional and cognitive development is deeply impacted by environments that were never designed with them in mind. It is not only a humanitarian issue-it is a matter of justice.This moment calls for more than reflection; it demands urgent and actionable dialogue with policymakers. We must prioritize the creation of child-sensitive prison policies, establish alternative care models for children of incarcerated parents and uphold the rights of every child to grow in dignity, security and love. Jedidiah Trust stands ready to partner with ZPCS, the government and other stakeholders to bring these children’s stories from the margins to the center of national policy discourse. Together, let us reimagine a correctional system where justice does not come at the cost of a child’s future.” – Mr Lovemore Chikwanda, Jedidiah Trust Founder and Team Leader.#JusticeForEveryChild #ChildRights #ParentalIncarceration #PolicyChange #NoChildLeftBehind … See MoreSee Less

A mother’s love and strength: A story of resilience.At Jedidiah Trust, we witness the incredible strength and love of caregivers every day. Today, we want to share a powerful story of a grandmother, who, despite the heartbreaking reality of her child being incarcerated at Chikurubi Female Prison, continues to fight for a better life for her grandchildren.This strong woman, out of sheer determination and love, started a small Dovi (peanut butter) business to ensure her grandchildren are well taken care of. Every day, she rises early, grinds the peanuts, packages the product and sells it – all to provide food, clothing and schooling for the little ones left behind.Her story is one of resilience, of finding hope in the face of hardship. She is not just surviving, she is thriving for her family. Yet, the emotional toll of being separated from her child, coupled with the weight of raising children in difficult circumstances, is a burden that no one should carry alone.At Jedidiah, we stand by these caregivers – these unsung heroes – who fight for a brighter future for their children. They deserve our support, love and encouragement.#jedidiahtrust #caregiverstrength #familyresilience #supportfamilies #impactinglives #childrenofincarceratedparents #NGOImpact #SupportTheCause #storiesthatmatter #invisiblechildren #ZambiaCorrectionalService #ZimbabwePrisonsandCorrectionalService #HlanganisaCommunityFund … See MoreSee Less

A story of change: A journey of change and gratitudeAs a little girl, I never understood why my mother couldn’t be with me, why she couldn’t be there for my birthdays or school events. It hurt to see other kids with their moms and I always wondered when I would get to see her again. But today, my heart is full and my spirit is at peace. Thank you Jedidiah Trust for making it possible for me to spend precious moments with my mother at Damville, an outdoor resort at Chikurubi Female Prison.❤️Through this opportunity, I got to see my mom in a way I never thought possible. We laughed, talked and simply enjoyed each other’s company. The chance to bond again, to experience a bit of normalcy, meant more than words can express.This experience has changed my life and it has given me hope for the future. Thank you Jedidiah Trust for turning a dream into reality for me and so many other children. You have given us more than a visit – you have given us love, joy and a reason to keep believing in the power of change.This memory will stay with me forever.❤️#gratefulhear #jedidiahtrust #storiesthatmatter #familybond #hope #change #UnbreakableLove #thankyou #RebuildingLives www.jedidiahtrustzim.org … See MoreSee Less
