Promote principles of good citizenship and for community members to take charge of their social, cultural and community development.

The Association aims to establish and secure a link between families in Zimbabwe to maintain culture and social inheritance.

The association’s website will create opportunities and a platform for entrepreneurs to market their businesses and skills through the internet. The online community will provide a forum for open discussion of all matters of public and community interest for community development and capacity building. It will provide facilities in the interest of social welfare and to improve conditions of life of Zimbabweans in Montreal.

Members of the community will benefit from the associations partnership with other organisations, government departments, municipal services and interests groups, through the association’s online resource center, helpful links, organisations, contacts, and general information will be made available.

Members of the Zimbabwean community seeking refugee status will be provided with legal information on the process or referred to the appropriate organisations or government departments for assistance. In the event of illness or death the association will facilitate and mobilise the Zimbabwean community to assist the bereaved families with moral and material support.

The elderly are often forgotten or ignored, it is the aim of the association to provide support in the form of organised visits, social support services, and information on but not limited to health services, grocery, drug stores that deliver to home or organisations that help with transportation. They will be able to leave an active life by participating in various activities organised by the association, and other organisations.

Children who’re born or travel with their parents or relatives often adapt to cultures and traditions of the host country. In order to maintain cultural balance, the Association will establish Educational services, Recreation and leisure services, activities and social events with a multi cultural content, that encourage the children to grow up to be responsible citizens .

Zimbabwe is a beautiful country with a beautiful people. To encourage and educate the host countries about Zimbabwe and its cultures, the association will encourage cultural exchange programmes and spread awareness through its online community page.
