The ZIM Project is an initiative that grew in 1996 from the compelling desire by one man to help alleviate the strife in Africa. Since 1996, its work has not only planted seeds of hope and the message of love to both African and Canadians alike, it has provided instrumental practical support with each annual short term mission. As a result of these efforts, the ZIM Project is credited with the construction and renovations of hospital wards, supplying millions of dollars worth of medicine and medical supplies to local medical centres, providing skills training to both men and women, offering nourishing meals, giving material support to local schools and developing community based programs and support, among its many contributions. While the ZIM Project works in collaboration with local communities through partnerships with African service providers, it is sensitive and responsive to specific regional needs therefore each mission trip employs its own program and a new focus. Despite this flexibility, the ZIM Project maintains its original vision and mandate to create opportunities for everyday Canadians to make a difference in another part of the world. With this in mind, we ensure the lowest cost possible to participants. For all these reasons and many others past Canadian participants return again and again for another ZIM Project.
