L'Arche Zimbabwe

Welcome to L'Arche Zimbabwe

L'Arche Zimbabwe is in the Waterfalls area of the capital Harare. We have two houses - the first of them (Ngoma house) was purchased for the community in 1997. The second (Brook House), was developed in 2007.

Although L'Arche traditionally focuses on the care of adults with learning disabilities, in Zimbabwe L'Arche was developed specifically for children. The reason is obvious - a high national mortality rate and a huge number of orphans in the streets.

Our community

In Zimbabwe, there is only one community of L'Arche - in the Waterfalls District of Zimbabwe's capital, Harare. L'Arche survives here with foreign assistance. We have two houses - the first of them, Ngoma house purchased for the community since 1997 and the second, Brook House, purchased in 2007.

The Chicken Project

A boy named Moses

We have just buried Moses. Actually it was the second time he was buried. The first time was in 1992 in a forest near Chinhoyi.

His unknown mother must have panicked on the day of his birth and half buried him in a remote spot.
