Ending Homelessness
Co-Founder, Trustee, Riding Instructor
Aileen completed a Pittman’s secretarial and bookkeeping course after leaving school before traveling to England, where she earned her BHSAI qualification. She is one of only two people in Bulawayo to hold this certification, which enables her to teach riding, show jumping, dressage, eventing, polo, and polocrosse to a high standard. With over 25 years of teaching experience, Aileen’s dedication to equestrianism is deeply rooted in her teenage years, when she volunteered at a riding school in Harare that offered ‘Riding for the Disabled.’
As a founder and trustee of Healing with Horses Zimbabwe, Aileen plays a vital role in the organisation. In addition to teaching all able-bodied lessons and accompanying center competitors to shows, she serves as the procurement officer and helps manage the stable yard and herd. Her commitment and expertise are invaluable to the success of the program.
We have come dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem that we just can’t solve.
