Farm Orphan Support Trust (FOST)

About Farm Orphan Support Trust (FOST)

FOST was born in 1997 as a response to the increase in orphaned children on farms in Zimbabwe largely due to the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS. It is a registered Private Voluntary Organization (PVO), which solicits and facilitates support for orphans and vulnerable children in farm communities in Zimbabwe. The FOST programme was originally focused in farm worker communities in the commercial farming sector, gradually adapting to the changes in the agriculture architecture to include support for vulnerable children in the whole range of farming communities with a bias to those supported by their grandparents.
