http://visioninspiredpeoplezimbabwe.org/Vision Inspired People Zimbabwe ‘VIPZ’ is a nonprofit organization registered as a company limited by guarantee on the 28th November 2009.Vision Inspired People Zimbabwe has been formed to offer people from Zimbabwe the opportunity to get involved in visionary and exciting ideas free from political prejudice. The macro-economic conditions and the tense political atmosphere in Zimbabwe have resulted in large numbers of people emigrating from Zimbabwe to try and escape the poverty and destitution and political oppression they have been subjected to in Zimbabwe. It is estimated that a quarter of the population of Zimbabwe have fled Zimbabwe by 2007. That is 3.4 million people worldwide, and while many countries have witnessed an increased presence of Zimbabwean refuges, the UK has continued to be a beacon of hope to many who would seek to give themselves a respectable chance at a decent lifestyle. It is believed that 197,000 people have immigrated to the UK legally since 1990. However there are an unknown number of illegal immigrants who try to gain access into the UK each year. These migrant populations of people have encountered a number of issues, which include: •	Lack of support from extended families and support networks in Zimbabwe due to the complete lack of value of the Zimbabwean currency; •	Integration with the community and the cosmopolitan society that they have been settled into; •	A total lack of understanding of the legal, political, municipal and health structures that exist within the country; •	A tendency to feel isolated and cut off from other Zimbabweans; •	In general the basic concept of being Zimbabwean and upholding of the Zimbabwean roots and values in a competing capitalist society. These challenges have necessitated the formation of Vision Inspired People Zimbabwe, which will support local communities of Zimbabweans around the country. Vision Inspired People Zimbabwe as a cultural organisation intends to register as a charity in support of our charitable objectives and while supporting our local communities, use our position and influence to raise funding in support of our African projects.
