organization dedicated to improving the lives of Zimbabwean musicians and their
communities.
Matanho Project has a fourfold mission:
To help Zimbabwean musicians and their families
generate income through self-sustaining musical, cultural arts and micro-loan
projects.
To help Zimbabwean villages transform from
debt-dependent farming methods to permaculture methods that are designed to
work together for sustainability.
To facilitate a cross-cultural sharing of
musical expertise and artist development between Zimbabwean and American
musicians.
To improve the health infrastructure of the
villages in which we establish partnership programs.
