Christian Children’s Ministry in Zimbabwe
Eden Ministries is a Christian children’s ministry and nonprofit organization in Zimbabwe, caring for orphaned and vulnerable children through family-based care, education, healthcare, discipleship, and community transformation.
Who We Are
Eden Ministries is a Christian nonprofit organization in rural Zimbabwe focused on holistic child care and long-term community transformation. Through Eden Children’s Village, family-based orphan care, education, healthcare, discipleship, employment, and local ministry partnerships, we serve orphaned and vulnerable children while strengthening families and communities. The Village was Eden’s first ministry and remains the focal point of our care, with eight children’s homes and transitional young adult homes forming surrogate families for children under our care.
Christian Leadership Serving Vulnerable Children in Zimbabwe
Ian and Heidi Fry, along with their family, have dedicated their lives to serving at Eden Ministries in rural Zimbabwe. As President of Operations, Ian helps lead Eden’s holistic Christian mission to care for orphaned and vulnerable children through family-based care, education, discipleship, healthcare, and community development.
Working alongside Ian’s parents, founders Kevin and Susan Fry, this family exemplifies sacrificial love in action. They’ve moved halfway around the world to be the hands and feet of
Jesus to some of the world’s most vulnerable children. Through the workplace worship of acknowledging and
welcoming Jesus into every facet of life as ministry, the Frys live to glorify Jesus by raising up wholly committed followers who live as citizens of Heaven bringing the heart, culture and reality of God into our grieving, crushed world!
The Frys have served for 14 years with Eden and are committed to serving with and investing in the future generations of Eden Ministries for the rest of their lives.

What our partners are saying…
The multi-faceted aspect of Eden reflects how God deals with His people holistically. While their main focus is the kids, they care for all of the people in their locality in many ways. This openness to the Lord and the community is beautiful.
My Husband and I are child sponsors from the United States. We help sponsor children here at Eden and we cover the costs for their food, their clothing, their education. It’s wonderful to get to be a part of the kids’ lives and to be able to visit them and spend some time with them.
My time at Eden showed me that this ministry is a true beacon of light, caring for children and adults in countless ways that only God fully knows.
Eden is an incredible example of what it looks like
to love well as a community. Meeting physical, mental and spiritual needs through the different ministries, the caring staff and church community. They are transforming lives by being the hands and feet for the least of these..
