<div>The Mudeka Foundation was set up as a UK registered charity by Anna Mudeka in 2011. We currently support 43 children attending schools surrounding Harare and Chihota village in Zimbabwe. The children are selected by the headteachers and verified by our co-ordinator who visits the families and helps create profiles of the pupils. The Foundation sponsors children from Primary School to A-Levels. We work closely with the schools to not only support the children with fees but infrastructure projects as identified by the schools.
