More Than a Home
Kutenda — meaning "to walk" in Shona — is a registered Private Voluntary Organization providing residential care for children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS, poverty, or family crisis. Located in the Sanyati communal lands of Mashonaland West Province, Kutenda offers not just shelter, but family.
Each child receives nutritious meals, education support, medical care, and the emotional stability of a consistent, loving environment. Our house parents live on-site, creating a genuine family structure rather than an institutional setting.
Currently housing 12 children with a licensed capacity of 24, Kutenda is actively preparing to welcome more children as funding grows. Every new sponsor directly enables another child to come home.
"Before Kutenda, I didn't know what it felt like to have someone waiting for me after school. Now I have a family, and I know I am loved."
— Tendai, age 14
