Transforming Lives One Brick at a Time

Buy a Brick Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving and creating lasting change for communities in Zimbabwe, Africa.

Our Mission

Since its founding in 2004, Buy a Brick Foundation has been committed to transforming communities in Zimbabwe by providing Spiritual, Agricultural, Medical, and Educational (SAME) support. Rooted in Christian values and a Christ-centered approach, we aim to cultivate renewal and lasting change, ensuring that no community remains the SAME, but is empowered with the tools for a brighter and more sustainable future.

"Since I was two-years-old, my grandfather Gib Leonard has traveled to Zimbabwe to build housing, schools, and health clinics. His mission, driven by faith and dedication, inspires me every day. He is my hero, and I invite you to learn more about the Buy a Brick Foundation. Each donation impacts lives.”

Our programs are inspired by the S.A.M.E. Approach.
