The Sainted Roots Model

How We Operate

Sainted Roots is a community-led social enterprise. We help rural villages in Zimbabwe to generate income by working together on community agriculture based projects. This income is invested back into the community that generates it.  We agree to support the communities who show proactiveness and willingness to put in the effort to get the results desired.

 

Each community is led by their selected village committee, whose role is to represent their views helping to target our support. It’s also the job of the committee to lead and encourage others in their community to get involved in Sainted Roots’ work.

 

The committee sets the objectives for the village within the framework of our programmes. Defining what they would like to achieve as well as ensuring the fair distribution of resources including any income generated through communal activities.

Ubiridom

"Eating From The Same Plate"

The term ‘ubiridom’ coined by JD Masukume; is focused on the creation of an ecosystem where everyone and everything works together in unison for individual fulfilment and for the greater good.

 

This is the key to how we operate, we want to empower our villagers to help themselves and their communities to thrive.

Village Engagement Model

We have developed a ‘Village Engagement Model’ made up of 5 phases, which aims to grow our villagers through the maturity continuum, from dependence, to independence to interdependence. 

​

Explore the phases of the model below: 

​

Phase 1

Getting ready to work together
  • Establishing Community Champions: Engage with proactive individuals who are respected & rooted within the community. Do our core values align?

​

  • Create village committees: Help the village form its committee. It is their role to inspire and lead community projects, so they become sustainable long term.

​

  • Community Self-Assessment: Help the community to identify their needs, existing resources and to define their long-term vision.

​

  • Define SMART Goals: Help the community set short and long-term goals, supported through the framework of our programmes.
