Our vision is a just, peaceful and sustainable world to which everyone, responding to the call of conscience, makes their unique contribution Initiatives of Change/ Moral Re-Armament Zimbabwe Moral Re-Armament (MRA) has been active in Zimbabwe for several decades. Through key members such as Alec Smith, Ian Smith’s son who was politically opposed to his father, MRA flourished in Rhodesia. Between 1975-197 they launched a variety of initiatives aimed at ‘building bridges of reconciliation’ and finding a solution to the war that was devastating the country. MRA played a pivotal role in the peaceful changeover from Ian Smith to Robert Mugabe in 1980. Since then, MRA has been through many struggles. Yet the committed team have pulled through and to this day groups meet in Harare and Gweru to bring transformation to individuals and their communities.
