Our Work

What distinguishes DIFTK from other organisations is not only our identity as a youth-led initiative but our commitment to deep, personal engagement with the children we serve. While many well-meaning organisations focus primarily on the donation of material goods, we believe that the most valuable resource we can offer vulnerable child is our time.

Orphanage Visits

Time is love and time spent at orphanages is time spent well. DIFTK members regularly visit orphanages such as Queen Elizabeth Children's Home and Mustard Seed Communities. Our visits include playing and engaging with the children, assisting with laundry and kitchen duties, supporting gardening activities, and simply being a consistent, caring presence. One of our most meaningful traditions is our monthly birthday celebrations at Queen Elizabeth Children’s Home, where we intentionally celebrate each child’s special day

Clean Up

Every child deserves a clean environment, and as DIFTK we love to get our hands dirty in order to achieve that environment. The Clean-Up Campaign is one initiative to get there. Currently, we pick litter at the Bulawayo City Hall.

Healing with Horses

We volunteer at Healing with Horses Therapeutic Centre, supporting their work with children living with disabilities. The centre provides therapeutic and rehabilitative services tailored to children with special needs, using structured equine-assisted interventions to promote physical development, emotional well-being, and confidence.

The Hope Club (Ngozi Mine)

Hope Club is a dedicated safe space created to nurture and support children at Ngozi Mine. The club provides a structured, caring environment where children are encouraged to grow holistically — socially, spiritually, and academically.

Through engaging social activities and interactive games, children build confidence, strengthen peer relationships, and develop essential life skills. Faith formation is supported through age-appropriate biblical storytelling, helping children cultivate strong values, identity, and hope.

CURE Hospital Visits

DIFTK is proud to volunteer at CURE Hospital, where our team finds great joy in supporting the children in their care. Whether we are reading stories, playing games, attending services, or celebrating birthdays, every visit is an opportunity to have fun while staying deeply committed to our mission of providing genuine companionship. By prioritizing these personal connections, we ensure that each child feels important and cared for during their stay at the hospital
