Volunteers should choose Simoonga Orphanage Home for the following reasons;
> we are friendly
>we need education
> we need influence
We are a Charity entity that needs whatever assistance we can get from the volunteers to help us feed the children, clothe them, as well as sustain the daily operations. We do not discriminate, we welcome people of all races.
The orphanage Home also runs a football academy that helps children by getting them to get involved in creative time. The move to keep children preoccupied helps them desist from uncharacteristic and unsocial behaviors like drug abuse.
We aim to nature and mentor youth through sport and recreation. As an idle mind is the devil's advocate, we aim at keeping youth recreationally attached so that they desist from substance abuse, early marriage, and unwanted pregnancies, and boy and girl child labor.
Soccer in this modern day is a high-paying profession and we believe and want to see some of our children and youth attain through soccer. We run both boys and girls football teams that comprise of participating footballers from the local community. These projects are aimed at character and moral development and we believe that through proper mentorship and a sustainable support system, these children will ultimately be identified by big teams.
The Orphanage, though financially challenged helps the team financially through winning allowance. We have enrolled quite a number of these children back to school and we have also introduced a free feeding scheme for them given that they all come from needy and poor backgrounds. We appeal to the world to help us finance this project and actualize the youth goals. We also appeal for volunteers to come on board to help coach and breed the teams. We need necessary coaching skills, we need support in every area of the sporting academy.
Everybody is welcome to volunteer either in the Opharnage Home or in the Sporting Academy.
HELP US TO HELP THEM, WHATEVER LITTLE WILL GO A LONG WAY.

I had the time of my life in Simoonga. I was able to meet great people in the village and to spend time with the best kids in the world. Also the activities organized by the host on the free days are amazing. I hope I'll have the possibility to go back.

This experience has been a lifetime experience.
The kindness found in this place has been unique. Astone, Caroline and the whole orphanage family have been awesome.
I had a total immersion in the village life: the days in the orphanage have been amazing wth the children, we shared lot, had fun, I have learned local culture and eventually I felt part of that family and of the village.
Days off have been fulfilled of activities thanks to Astone that made me discover the beauty of this place: safaris and Victoria Falls.
I have loved every single aspect, moment and person I met.

My experience at Simoonga Orphanage Home was nothing short of amazing. The host Astone was very welcoming and made my stay comfortable. He organised a game drive for me and it was awesome. His wife Caroline is an angel, she was always so welcoming. I learnt and experienced a lot during my time here. I loved the time I spent with the kids, and my favourite part of day was going to the garden and learning about vegetables and fish farming with Haggai. Overall I had a great experience not only at the Orphanage but in Livingstone in general. I met a lot of new people who I’ll continue to keep touc

The best part of everyday was working with Captain in the garden ❤️. He was very welcoming and ready to share his knowledge with me. Caroline (the wife of Astone-the director) was the main person I interacted with daily when she provided the meals. There was limited communication and contact with Astone during my stay. There also seems to be 2 or 3 orphans at the orphanage. So the project was just gardening for 1 hour each day while I was there. Overall, except for a few things and people, this was disappointing.

I had a fantastic time in Simoonga with Astone, Caroline and the whole village and would recommend this project to anyone visiting Livingstone.
I know I learned more in my time than I imparted from the kids to Captain on the farm. I loved the mornings on the farm helping out and time with the kids, playing football or games each day. You are given license to support in whatever way you choose.
I compliment Astone and the team on the work in the village and community.
The accommodation is excellent and my compliments to Caroline on the great food and plenty of it so a truly unique experience
