About PiTaV, Inc.
Founded in 2006 as school project for Professor Morris' entrepreneurship class, we have since expanded our impact both locally and globally as we continue to work closely with youth attending primary and high schools in Glen View, Harare, Zimbabwe, and their surrounding community. Our partnered students are fortunate to be cared for by their extended family, primarily grandparents. Despite facing challenges, these students continue to dream, and we are honored to support them on their. Our fundraising events are designed to bridge the cultural divide by offering culturally relevant activities that connect the Glen View community with our global supporters and one another.
Mission & Vision
At PiTaV, Inc. we believe that "umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" - literally meaning "a person is a person because of other people." This phrase has been shortened to "ubuntu" in Zulu/Ndebele or "unhu" in Shona to reflect our understanding that we are who we are because of the support of other people.​ In other words, we believe in the literal meaning of the proverb "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child."​It is based on these beliefs that we are motivated to stand as a visible commitment to improving the quality of life of children impacted by HIV/AIDS and to supporting the families who care for the children.
