People living away from Zimbabwe who need to care for an aging
relative back home,
where services are difficult to arrange, and where
theout-of-country child needs to
finance part of their relative’s life
The motivation for Tinashe Wangu Home Care came from my own experience trying to care for my aging parents in Zimbabwe from the States, along with my siblings in different time zones. One of the hardest things was to understand what was going on in Harare with my parents. My siblings and I felt that no matter what we did, we couldn’t get a clear picture of what was actually going on. This made it very hard to make difficult decisions, especially financial decisions. We leaned on relatives to check in on my parents and coordinate important financial decisions. As time passed and my parents needed medical care as well, the total burden became overwhelming for in-country relatives. Tinashe Wangu was launched to address needs like this.
At Tinashe Wangu we feel the hardest part about caring for parents while overseas is finding a trusted partner who can be a source of accurate information and coordinate logistics. The core of our service is a care coordinator who partners with your family, lives in the same region and has excellent organizational and communication skills. Having a trusted person whom you can communicate with allows you to anticipate problems, make informed decisions, establish an appropriate budget and minimize miscommunications with siblings.
Not all families have the same needs. We work with you to tailor the details and level of services to your needs. For example not all families need round the clock care. We offer hourly services as well.
