For 14 years, Makomborero has been changing lives in Zimbabwe by providing A-level education to gifted students from very disadvantaged backgrounds. We also offer local university grants for alumni, work to keep young vulnerable girls in school & provide mental health support for our students.

There is no free education in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is in political and economic turmoil and the current El Niño induced drought made this worse. A significant portion of people work in the informal economy characterised by low wages, poor working conditions and little to no security. For many families keeping their child in school is an impossible dream with only 15% of all children completing their A-level education. Many deserving students never make it that far. We bridge that gap.
We provide A-Level scholarships to students with incredible potential but without the means to fund their studies. These students thrive under the multi-faceted private education that they receive, as well as blossoming from a holistic life skills programme at our Resource Centre. Our non-residental students also flourish, with the financial burden removed from their families. By focusing on a few students, we produce a very high calibre of graduate, and are shaping future leaders for Zimbabwe.
