Meet the 2016 Amani Hope Scholars

Meet the 2016 Amani Hope Scholars – we are excited to share the latest additions to the Amani Hope Family… This year we added 7 new Amani Hope Scholars  to the Amani Hope Scholarship program. These new additions allow the Amani Hope Foundation to continue its mission of empowering underprivileged children across the world by providing scholarships. The foundation now educates 26 Amani Hope Scholars in 4 countries – 19 in Zimbabwe, 5 in Tanzania, 1 in Ghana and 1 in Bermuda.

AFR Clothing and the Amani Hope Foundation partnered with Chiedza Child Care Center to identify the 7 new scholarship recipients. The center supports and cares for vulnerable children in Harare, Zimbabwe. One scholarship of the 7 recipients was funded by Paraval Clothing a fashion house dedicated to children’s education which launched in January of 2015. We hope this partnership with Paraval Clothing will set the precedent for future collaborations with other organizations.

Here are the profiles of the new additions:

1. Anesu Zembwe: is a 17 year old high school student. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up because she wants to help the sick. Anesu loves to play netball and athletics. She helps her mother by selling at the market when she is free.

2. Anywhere Jimu: Anywhere loves to paint and hopes to pursue an artistic career once he finishes school. Currently lives with his grandmother since both parents passed away. Paraval Clothing is funding Anywhere’s scholarship.
