Our Objectives

Relieve Poverty

Our organization is dedicated to reducing poverty among women and girls in Zimbabwe by providing meaningful financial assistance, training, and access to livelihood resources. Through partnerships with registered charities, community-based groups, and non-profit organizations, we empower women to start small businesses, gain employable skills, and achieve financial independence. By addressing the root causes of poverty, we help transform vulnerable communities into sustainable and self-reliant ones.

About Us

Lily of Valleys is an organisation committed to relieving young women and girls in need by way of financial hardship, poverty and or those who have experienced domestic abuse and or sexual assault in Zimbabwe through the provision of awarding grants to registered charities and not for profit organizations.

We work to advance access to education for young women and girls experiencing financial hardship, poverty and or those who have experienced domestic abuse and or sexual assault. Our grants support organizations that provide school fees, educational resources, vocational training, school uniforms, counselling support and sanitary items.

The Challenge

According to Global Partnership for Education, in Zimbabwe, girls have increasingly higher dropout rates than boys, as 8,000 more girls than boys left secondary school in 2021. Girls in the lowest wealth quintile are most affected with a net attendance rate of just 31%.

Eligibility Criteria

Lily of Valleys supports registered charities and voluntary organizations in Zimbabwe that empower vulnerable girls and young women — especially in rural communities. Priority is given to those providing education access, sanitary items, and psychosocial support. Eligible organizations must have a strong track record, transparent financial management, and the ability to report on grant usage effectively.
