Created in 1985 by the Sisters of Mercy, the Mukuru Promotion Centre provides
children living in the Mukuru community with much needed education, health care,

street boys and orphaned children; includes a curative clinic offering free medical

training to members of the community.

Mounsey, Mukuru Promotion Centre Program Manager said “You and I can only guess at
the gratitude in the heart of the boy/girl who has been offered such a real lifeline
to a better future.”
