St. Giles Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Harare, Zimbabwe

St. Giles is a medical rehabilitation centre and the only one in Harare, Zimbabwe. It gives post stroke, major accident / brain injury patients the ability to regain their motor skills and use limbs that were rendered inactive. St. Giles also has two dormitories one for boys and one for girls and a primary school on site.
