Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (7)
  1. $26,951 spent. Food Hampers - Every other month Jm2Z provided food hampers with 2 months of food supply to 42 families (40 families only in Oct) in underprivileged areas with a total of 250 baskets being delivered during the year. The objective of this program is to provide food aid for families in poor living/working/economic conditions in Zimbabwe. This will allow them and their children to be well nourished so they can work better at jobs and concentrate better in school which will allow them in turn to provide for their own families. Of the 42 families, it is estimated that 90% no longer worry about finding food for their families.
  2. $7,727 spent. Micro Enterprises - Seventeen women were aided with supplies allowing them to make, raise, and sell things for their micro enterprises. These women meet weekly with JM2Z where time is spent learning skills that will allow them to make/raise and then sell items to support, feed, and school their families. The objective is to help these ladies to start, manage, and grow their own micro enterprises allowing them to provide for the long-term needs of their families. It is estimated that more than 80% of these ladies are making a profit and providing for their families.
  3. $7,503 spent. Education Sponsorship - Thirteen children were sponsored by our donors allowing them to receive school uniforms, school supplies, school entrance fees, and necessary tutoring sessions. The objective is to provide what is necessary for these children to remain in school, complete their education, and be able to secure jobs to support their families. 100% of these children have improved in their school grades and in their consistent attendance putting them on track for graduation.
