ZimPro carries under its wings an amalgam of various issues, constituencies, and representative groups all with the singular focus of meeting the development needs of men, women, and children in Zimbabwe. For the period 2022 to 2026, we have prioritized the following:
ZimPro works with people who are disadvantaged and have commitment and capacity to help themselves. ZimPro will target the “active poor”, who can be defined as people with potential to be self-reliant but possibly lack reasonable minimal external support to be able to move out of their undesirable condition.
The target group is found in rural and urban areas of the country and they could be involved in the formal or informal sectors of the economy. ZimPro’s definition of the disadvantaged includes the marginalized individuals in the urban and rural areas especially those who depend mostly on small scale subsistence farming, who are predominantly women, the materially and intellectually poor, the physically challenged whether economically active or otherwise. However, the organization will only target those requiring social welfare support provided they are affected by a crisis that is likely to result in loss of lives or significant loss of household and productive assets. We seek to empower the active resource poor so that they become self-reliant citizens, self driven and motivated to transform their communities.
These are people who will continue to require external support, i.e. those unable to move from dependent to a self-reliant position.
