Hlekweni Friends Rural Service Centre has closed

by Tara Craig 1st August 2014

Hlekweni Friends Rural Service Centre (near Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) has closed. The centre was founded forty-seven years ago, but is no longer financially sustainable.

Thousands of young Zimbabweans owe their livelihoods to the training they had there. The last students graduated in mid June.
