Global Missions- Zimbabwe Volunteers in Mission

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.” Matthew 28:19-20 CEB

About ZIMVIM

For nearly 30 years, Community UMC has cultivated a meaningful partnership with the country of Zimbabwe, and in recent years has focused its efforts on the village of Hanwa. Together, we have helped build schools, bring electricity and clean water to the community, and strengthen local health clinics. Most importantly, by visiting approximately every other year, we have formed lasting relationships with our partners in Hanwa. If you have an interest in this wonderful ministry please contact our team leader, Charlie Moore.

Our 2026 Mission

Our team of 16 volunteers will serve in Zimbabwe from July 19 through August 10. During this time, we will partner with the village of Hanwa to construct and renovate teacher housing to help recruit and retain school staff, ultimately supporting sustained student education.

During our time in Zimbabwe, our team will:

  • Build new and renovate existing teacher housing
  • Strengthen organizational sustainability by funding staff salaries
  • Encourage literacy and learning among students in Hanwa
  • Install solar power and electricity in Dindi facilities

We must raise approximately $230,000 to cover labor, materials, and permits for these projects. Travel expenses must be covered by each volunteer and are not included in this goal.
