ZIMBABWE PARTNER AND HELP A CHILD (ZIMPAHAC)
BACKGROUND OF ZIMPAHAC.
ZIMPAHAC, is an institution working under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. Its mandate is
providing leadership training to students nationwide as well as donating to the vulnerable children. The
institution focuses on Prefects, Class monitors and Group leaders. The institution runs a number of
departments including Prefects and Students Assembly (PASA) consisting of two prefects per school
(male and female) whose responsibility is solving societal ills e.g. drug abuse, bullying and illegal parties.
Its premise is based on coming up with solutions for the increasing number of fights and murder in
schools. We appreciate that students are the ones who can provide comprehensive solutions and also
offer information on the perpetrators.
ZIMPAHAC works through partnerships with companies and individuals that are keen in joining hands in
order to help the less privileged children nationwide.
