Om Sabona- in Norwegian

Ynghild Solholm reiste til Zimbabwe i 1999, på egenhånd uten tilknytning til noen organisasjon, med et ønske om å utføre hjelpearbeid. Hun startet sitt arbeide i en liten landsby, Dopota, hvor hun ble ønsket velkommen av lokalbefolkningen.
Ynghild begynte å undervise i engelsk og om Aidsproblemene, men så imidlertid fort at barna først og fremst trengte mat. Barna besvimte i skoletimene. Hun reiste hjem og organiserte en støttekonsert, og kom tilbake med nok penger til å starte opp en matstasjon på skolen hvor barna daglig fikk et varmt måltid.

Fra 1999 til 2006 bodde hun i landsbyen og fikk nær kjennskap til utfordringene på grasrota. I 2002 organiserte Solholm og venner i landsbyen er arbeidskommite som ble starten på en organisert virksomhet i Zimbabwe.
Arbeidet har over årene utviklet seg til å omfatte større prosjekter og dekke flere behov i landsbyen samt behov ved andre skoler og klinikker i området.

Ynghild Solholm drev et enmannsforetak fra Norge og arbeidet alene med støtte fra norske givere frem til det ble en stiftelse i november 2003. Hun hadde med tiden hatt flere støttekonserter, og venner, familie, bekjente og ukjente bidro med pengestøtte slik at landsbyen har kom seg igjennom den verste sultkatastrofen som har rammet det sørlige Afrika, uten dødsofre i 2002/2003.

I dag er Sabona en stiftelse som utfører prosjekter på grasrotnivå i Zimbabwe. Fokus på hjelp til selvhjelp, få mellomledd og direkte kanalisering av midler gjør prosjektene effektive og sterke. At lokalbefolkningen er med i hele prosessen, fra ide til utførelse og drift gir prosjektene verdighet og gjør dem bærekraftig. Lokalbefolkningen selv eier sine prosjekter.

Sabona er et resultat av møtet mellom to forskjellige kulturer, ydmykhet og respekt.
