Creating Better Futures
Partner organisation for District 1090
Creating Better Futures (CBF) is a UK charity entirely run by volunteers in the UK and in Zimbabwe (Africa).
We believe education is the key to overcoming poverty.
We aim to continue securing child sponsorship, raising additional funds retaining reliable volunteers so that we can support the education and welfare of vulnerable children & orphans in Zimbabwe. Through your generous donations, fundraising, volunteering and sponsorship children's lives are being transformed, they are being empowered to meet their potential and we are helping communities to overcome poverty.
We work directly with local communities and schools in Zimbabwe. We are
able to do this through our support network of volunteers working on the ground
in Zimbabwe. We provide vulnerable children with the long term support and
sponsorship they desperately need. We enable them to go to school, receive
proper meals, have access to basic medical care, and to benefit from community
development projects.
Creating Better Futures was founded by Dorothy Dix, a member of the International Committee.
