Chiredzi Christian Children's Village

The Chiredzi Christian Children's Village was established in 2000 in response to the fallout of the HIV epidemic which ravaged Sub-Saharan Africa and left so many families and children at risk. Over the past 21 years, CCCV has lovingly raised more than 100 children into productive adulthood with more than 50 children currently in our care. Along with the Village, this wonderful Christian orphan ministry provides housing, care and guidance for our children 18 and over as they are furthering their education or serving job apprenticeships. It is exciting times for the Village as we recently completed a $140,000 campus renovation and welcomed our new administration team of Mark and Meghan Burbidge!

You can help support Chiredzi Christian Children's Village by becoming a Village child sponsor of one of our children or just by being regular supporting partners with us. The ongoing costs of operating CCCV is around $11,000 per month so we need faithful friends, churches and partners willing to be financial supporters of this great ministry.

Village Sponsorship

At CCCV we provide for all the needs of the children entrusted to us: housing, food, education, tutoring, clothing, medical, love, nurture as well as raising them up in the training and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4).  Our Village Sponsorship program allows you to connect in a very real way with one of our children. You and your family can be as involved in your child's life, education and upbringing as you desire with the opportunity to communicate consistently with your child via the internet. You will become like a family overseas to them.

Village Fund

One of the ways you can support CCCV is through simply supporting the general Village Fund. We need churches and friends willing to partner with us as we partner with God in this important work. You, your church, your Sunday School class, your youth group, etc. can provide monthly support in any amount. You can even set it up as a monthly credit/debit recurring gift. Of course, one-time gifts are always welcomed and appreciated. ​

​With our previous administrator, Alone Gudyanga, moving on to a different role with the mission, we are pleased to introduce our new administrators, Mark and Meghan Burbidge! Mark and Meghan have served as missionaries in Zimbabwe for over 10 years. Mark grew up in Zimbabwe and Meghan is from Chicago, IL. They met as students at Central Christian College in the U.S. and married a few years later. They have been very involved with children’s ministry and especially with at-risk youth ministry during their years in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe as well as serving with the Christian church in town. With fresh eyes, fresh vision and the latest remodel and updates made to the Village, we anticipate great days ahead for the precious children entrusted to our care!
