The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), through its Director of Humanitarian Services and Diakonia, Ms. Maria Tendai Dendere, recently held a fruitful engagement with the Canadian Ambassador to Zimbabwe, HE Mr. Adler Aristilde, at the Canadian Embassy in Harare.
The meeting highlighted ZCC’s ongoing mission work, particularly the three-year Scaling Up Resilience Program being carried out in Gutu and Bikita districts. Rooted in the Christian call to be stewards of creation and to care for the vulnerable, the program is transforming lives through climate-smart agriculture, gender equality, disaster risk reduction, and diversified livelihoods.
Canada has remained a faithful partner of ZCC, with platforms such as the Canadian Day celebrations strengthening not only diplomatic ties but also shared values of inclusivity, compassion, and justice. The Ambassador praised ZCC’s unwavering commitment to resilience and development, commending its strong approach to gender inclusion—a principle that mirrors the biblical vision of equality and dignity for all.
Together, ZCC and its partners continue to walk with communities in Zimbabwe, guided by the love of Christ, to build resilience, empower women, and nurture hope for a sustainable future.
