John and Orpah Chinyowa
Pastor John is the Pastor of Family Praise Fellowship Church in Marondera, Zimbabwe, and the leader who inspired Chris Marlow to start Help One Now years ago. Pastor John, his wife Orpah, and his church oversee Musha We Vana Children’s Home caring for over 45 vulnerable children. John is an incredible team-builder and he has the best laugh you have ever heard. We are currently partnering with Pastor John in Marondera to provide quality care and education for the children of Musha We Vana, transition care and secondary education through the Tariro Vocational Center, restorative community care, and the Family Business Program.

Initiatives
Education
Our education program in Zimbabwe equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to build a strong future. A key part of this initiative is the Tariro Vocational Center, where students gain practical, hands-on training in trades and entrepreneurship - skills they can take directly into the workforce or use to launch their own businesses. Through access to quality education and real-world learning opportunities, students in Zimbabwe are being empowered to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change in their communities.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is another key pillar of our work. Our Family Business Program empowers families to achieve financial independence by equipping them with the tools and training to launch and sustain their own businesses. To date, we have empowered 79 families in the Marondera region of Zimbabwe. By investing in both economic and personal development, we are helping build a stronger, self-sufficient community for generations to come.
Restorative Community Care
Our Community Care initiatives in Zimbabwe focus on providing safety, stability, and hope for vulnerable children. At Musha We Vana 50 children without parental care receive 24/7 support in a loving, family-style environment. Whenever possible, we work toward family reunification, ensuring each child has the opportunity to grow up surrounded by care, belonging, and opportunity.
