“Hope” — in Shona

Nicolas is a monk originally from Zimbabwe who now lives within a monastic community in Yorkshire. He travels internationally to raise funds in support of Tariro.

Tariro means “Hope” in the Shona language.

The young people supported by Tariro are without their biological parents due to a range of challenging circumstances.
