The mission of the Zimu Foundation is to improve life for Uganda's poor living in impoverished villages. The Zimu Foundation is dedicated to relieving the suffering and uncertainty of Uganda's underprivileged women and children through quality, relevant education, basic healthcare, clean water and life-training skills for economic self-sustenance. These individuals become victim to the shackles of poverty where the simplest necessities of life such as food, shelter, clean water, basic healthcare and education are often not within their reach. The Zimu Foundation's major aim is to break the vicious cycles of illiteracy and poverty, which are the primary causes of the suffering and the poor living conditions of the children and women living in these remote impoverished villages.
