We believe in bringing about change and excellence in ourselves and our community. Our motto is Adopt, Adapt, Improve and we bring young men aged between 18 and 45 together, to challenge, inspire and learn from each other. We share ideas openly with trust, and empower each individual to make a positive impact at home, work and in his community. We call it Tabling and we do this locally where we meet regularly. We plan and organise meetings and events for ourselves and others that focus on personal development, fun & fellowship and community service. Together we form an international network of bright young men. We are Round Table. One World, One Table.
Round Table is a young men’s organisation that has been running for almost 100 years internationally.
Round Table came to Zimbabwe in 1952 with the formation of the first club, Harare 1. At its peak there were 31 clubs in Zimbabwe, however due to difficult times and a lot of urban migration, the number of clubs dropped to as low as 4 in 2017. We have been rebuilding and currently we have 6 clubs and 72 members throughout the country. We continue our drive to expand and look forward to chartering new clubs in cities and towns that do not currently have a club.
Round Table was initially created as a forum for young businessmen to gather and exchange ideas. Whilst networking is still a large part of our club, we have evolved primarily into a community service organisation where we work together to better the lives of those less fortunate than us.
We support a wide range of charities including orphanages, retirement homes, child-led families, children with cancer and animal welfare. We are committed to making a meaningful contribution to every charity we support.
The need for assistance is overwhelming, and our efforts are going a long way to assisting those in need.
I believe that in these tough times, a service club like ours provides a glimmer of hope and can inspire the greater community to work together to make a change.
Yours In Table
