Welcome to Youth Alive Zimbabwe
We are a faith-based private voluntary organization managed by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa (FMSA). Since 1999, we are helping build safe, resilient, and inclusive communities where all individuals live a life of dignity and purpose regardless of religious background, socioeconomic status, or location.
Our Core Values
INTEGRITY
In every program Youth Alive runs from mentorship circles to climate adaptation projects. We act in line with our mission and the Franciscan and Catholic ethos, ensuring that our actions match our promises. This builds trust with the children, families and partner churches we serve, allowing us to influence lives honestly and consistently.
RESPONSIBILITY
We take ownership of the resources entrusted to us, whether they are funds from donors, volunteer time, or community space. By meeting our commitments delivering project activities on schedule, reporting progress transparently, and adapting when challenges arise. We demonstrate accountability to both supporters and the communities that rely on us.
TRANSPARENCY
Youth Alive shares its plans, budgets and outcomes openly with stakeholders: donors receive clear financial statements, partner organizations see project results, and participants know how their input shapes activities. This openness invites feedback and strengthens collaboration.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
Our work aims to level the playing field for Zimbabwe’s youth, regardless of faith, income or location. By promoting equal access to education, sustainable livelihood skills and leadership opportunities, we confront systemic inequities and empower marginalized young people to become agents of change in their own communities.
