The Nyadire Connection (TNC), based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a faith-based, non-profit organization that seeks to support and sustain the Nyadire United Methodist Mission in northeastern rural Zimbabwe, Africa. The Nyadire Mission offers a hospital, nursing school, school system (preschool through high school), orphanage, teachers’ college, farm, and many other services to the surrounding community.
TNC was founded in 2006 after a Volunteer in Mission team of 18 Pittsburghers traveled to Nyadire for three weeks. The team provided medical and pastoral care, conducted a Vacation Bible School for primary school children, and converted a dormitory into individual rooms at the Nurses’ Training School. After returning from the mission trip, many felt that support to Nyadire should be ongoing and more in depth.
The team hoped to develop a partnership and facilitate relationships between friends in the U.S. and Nyadire. The team felt TNC could interpret needs as expressed by Zimbabweans in Nyadire, identify needs in additional areas and provide support.
