Vision

HIV free communi�es with healthierindividuals who are able to takeresponsibility for their own lives

Mission

Mashambanzou is commi�ed to providingquality care and support for the poor people

living with HIV and to empower localcommuni�es to deal with HIV and AIDS

Background

A�er witnessing the suffering, pain, s�gma and social rejec�on of people living with HIV/AIDS in Harare, Zimbabwe, Sr Noreen of the li�le Company of Mary established Mashambanzou Care Trust (MCT) in 1989.

Sr Noreen's vision 28 years ago was a society where people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS are free from s�gma, have access to safe and affordable treatment as well as live normal lives.

She yearned to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS which was further destroying lives and families. In order to achieve this vision, the founding mission and primary objec�ves were:Ÿ To provide care and treatment to persons living

with HIV/AIDSŸ To undertake civic educa�on on preven�on and

treatment in communi�es, schools, work places, churches and beer halls

Ÿ To engage poorer communi�es in care, treatment and civic educa�on on HIV/AIDS.

The name Mashambanzou is a combina�on of two Shona words 'kushamba' meaning to wash and 'nzou' which is an elephant, put together the words means dawn of a new day. The idiom refers to the early hours of the morning when elephants go down to the river to wash and refresh themselves, marking the dawn of a new day. The word Mashambanzou was chosen to offer inspira�on to those on the threshold of a new life - People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Though 2016 had its challenges, we celebrate the successes that we have achieved in reducing the suffering of people living with HIV and those affected by HIV, par�cularly women and children.

We managed to provide treatment, care and psychosocial support to people among all our projects.

We managed to conscien�se communi�es on various issues such as Child protec�on, ART adherence and HIV preven�on.

We thank all the schools, hospitals, clinics, government department and the civic society for the great synergies shared.

We were saddened by the increased number of ART defaulters and the increase in cases of gender based violence as well as the abuse of children.

With high levels of unemployment and poverty in the country, many children were deprived of accessing their basic rights as breadwinners could not afford the money for educa�on, food, and other material provisions.

Many women and young girls have now resorted to selling sex in order to earn a living and I am sure there are alterna�ve livelihoods that are less risky that our women can

engage in. With your support we can engage them more and come up with alterna�ves.

We are very grateful to our funding partners who remained commi�ed to improving the quality of life for the affected communi�es and families.

We would like to thank all our funding partners who have enabled us to respond to the needs of men, women, boys and girls whom we reached out to.

We have individuals, families and church communi�es who have made their contribu�ons in cash and kindness, in support of the work at Mashambanzou. I am thankful to them for their generosity and love for the poor.

We con�nue to ask God to inspire us as we join other stakeholders in working towards an HIV free genera�on. A genera�on where people will know their HIV status and go on treatment so that they can enjoy good quality life, work for their loved ones and live longer to see their children through life.

Last but not least, I thank all Mashambanzou staff and volunteers for the hard work. I also thank the Board of Trustees for their guidance and support.

The Family Centred Support

The year 2016 has been full of ac�vity for the Family Centred Support teams. Working closely with Community Care Givers the outreach teams conducted family assessments, counselling, medical treatments, referrals, school visits, stakeholder mee�ngs, and trainings.

Mashambanzou Care Trust, in its bid to assist HIV/AIDS pa�ents, orphans and vulnerable children has sadly

no�ced that most of the clients had no proper iden�ty documents and MCT assisted them with money to transport witnesses, rela�ves and to pay the statutory fees required.

Other common challenges faced by PlWHIVAIDS included high mobility which resulted in defaul�ng on treatment, poor accommoda�on, transport costs, poor nutri�on and depleted financial resources. In an

effort to solve or at least address some of the above problems start up capital for income genera�ng projects (IGPs) was provided to some of the pa�ents. Clients were also trained and helped to set up Internal Savings and Lending Scheme (ISALS).

Mike and Mar�n lived in a cave behind Puma service sta�on along Simon Mazorodze Road. Mike was bedridden while Mar�n was his care giver. A stone blaster iden�fied them and referred the case to MCT. They were taken MCU where it was established that Mar�n also needed medical a�en�on. They were treated and fully recovered. Mike managed to replace his lost iden�ty card

and birth cer�ficate through MCT's help. He has since been reunified with his rela�ves who offered to assist him with capital to set up an IGP and also pay for his rentals. Mar�n has since relocated to his rural home in Ngundu and was given $40 to start up an income genera�ng project for his sustenance by MCT.

Overcoming the physical, emo�onal and social problems caused by any illness is a healthy way to live with the illness. Mashambanzou Care Unit (MCT) strived to provide a healthy way of living to its clients through holis�c treatment and care given to the admi�ed pa�ents, their

care givers and families. A total of 269 clients were

admi�ed at MCU in 2016. 155 were discharged in full health and a new lease of life was provided to many who were admi�ed bed ridden. Through MCU's medical interven�ons, psychosocial support and

spiritual guidance offered to clients, life was transformed and a new meaning realised. 47 clients were referred to ter�ary ins�tu�ons like Harare Central Hospital and Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.

Unfortunately 68 pa�ents passed on during the year.

The harsh economic environment and the effects of HIV/AIDS con�nue to impact nega�vely on Orphans and Vulnerable Children. OVCs con�nue to face myriad challenges like lack of food, school fees, clothing and abuse. A number of families are now child led, further exposing the children.

MCT con�nued to address some of these challenges through its OVC Support Program, benefi�ng over 230 children in 2016. The program

provided day care, psycho-social, and educa�onal support. Moral and financial assistance to acquire iden�ty documents was also provided. Houses of safety were also established for OVCs.

Pu�ng Children First

Mashambanzou Care Trust has gone beyond crea�ve responses and advocacy to appropriately establishing an office dedicated to Pu�ng Children First. The prime objec�ves of Pu�ng Children First interven�on are to strengthen child protec�on structures in targeted communi�es, promote children's rights and pu�ng a stop to gender based violence.

The program predominantly worked on its key areas of ART literacy and treatment advocacy. The program's broad scope of opera�on in 2016 was driven by three P's: preven�on of those who have not contracted HIVAIDS; preven�on of Mother to Child transmission of HIV/AIDS and; preven�on of re-infec�on and support for those who are on Art.

In pursuit of its goals and objec�ves during the past year; the program team successfully held workshops with secondary care givers, primary care givers, adults and adolescents (including PLWHIVAIDS). The workshops covered Art Uptake and adherence, Sexual

reproduc�ve health Rights and life skills.

Fully aware of the nega�ve effects of discrimina�on and s�gma on regular and consistent Art uptake and adherence, the program advocated for an open and suppor�ve environment for those infected with HIV/AIDS and protec�on from discrimina�on. This was done whilst facilita�ng access to treatment.

Other ac�vi�es carried out by the program team included; awareness sessions in churches, schools, bars and reach out to sex workers.

Part of the vulnerable children receiving ter�ary educa�onal support from MCT. Educa�on is one of the best ways to empower these children and also ensure that they make a difference in their lives and impact posi�vely on their communi�es at large.

The program predominantly worked on its key areas of ART literacy and treatment advocacy. The program's broad scope of opera�on in 2016 was driven by three P's: preven�on of those who have not contracted HIVAIDS; preven�on of Mother to Child transmission of HIV/AIDS and; preven�on of re-infec�on and support for those who are on Art.

In pursuit of its goals and objec�ves during the past year; the program team successfully held workshops with secondary care givers, primary care givers, adults and adolescents (including PLWHIVAIDS). The workshops covered Art Uptake and adherence, Sexual

reproduc�ve health Rights and life skills.

Fully aware of the nega�ve effects of discrimina�on and s�gma on regular and consistent Art uptake and adherence, the program advocated for an open and suppor�ve environment for those infected with HIV/AIDS and protec�on from discrimina�on. This was done whilst facilita�ng access to treatment.

Other ac�vi�es carried out by the program team included; awareness sessions in churches, schools, bars and reach out to sex workers.
