There is always the question of the legitimacy regarding appeals for money over the Internet these days.  The list below was compiled by John Redfern of the Flame Lily Foundation who notes:-

"I'm sure that a number of other organisations, churches and individuals also provide welfare to Zim pensioners in one way or another, all of which helps to spread the welfare load.

To improve coordination within Zimbabwe, there is now a Pensioner's Committee meeting held monthly including representatives from ZANE, SOAP, HIZ and PF.  This has evolved from what used to be the PF committee meeting. Adopt a Grandparent donates their funds to PF, again for coordination purposes.

The information below is of necessity, cryptic.  Anyone wishing to know more about any particular organisation should approach that organisation direct, at the contact e-mail address given."
