About us
Mashambanzou Care Trust (MCT) is a registered Private Voluntary Organization (W O 9/90), based in Harare. The organization was founded in 1989 by Sister Noreen Nolan of the Little Company of Mary (LCM) Sisters, in response to the HIV pandemic amongst the poor communities. The focus was mainly on the dissemination of accurate information, care and support for people living with HIV (PLHIV) and prevention of the further spread of HIV. Home Based Care (HBC), Palliative Care and HIV prevention awareness campaigns were among some of the interventions carried out. From this noble and humble vision grew the multifaceted organisation, Mashambanzou, as we know it to-day
