The TYP house, was, and still is, focused on young people between about 16 and 25. These youngsters help to run the house themselves with support from the local trustees of TYP, including Father Phillip Mutasa (an Anglican priest in Harare and the chair of the TYP trustees) and Dr Beata Tumushine (a doctor and the Treasurer of TYP).

The former Bishop of Tonbridge described TYP as “one of the most inspirational communities I have ever encountered.”

Some of the young people in the Tariro UK funded projects have done extremely well academically: three have done medical training, several now have jobs in various kinds of bookkeeping, some are self-employed. With the less academic youngsters, the projects supported by Tariro UK aim to give them skills to survive in the informal economy and in agriculture.
