The Zimbabwe Mission very much needs help. Located right above Africa and under Zambia, the country is suffering dire financial issues. The economy has pretty much totally collapsed. The majority of the citizens are extremely poor. Most suffer with significant shortages of food.
The Zimbabwe Mission project is trying to help those in need. Their focus is especially on the many orphans. They built and operate the Heather Chimhoga Orphan Care Center. They try to provide at least two nutritious meals per day for up to a thousand orphans and preschoolers.
Many of these children suffer from the disease AIDS and other serious diseases. Thankfully, they now have a full time nurse who helps meet the many medical needs. With an increase in donations of medicines and medical help they are seeing a decrease in the childhood mortality rates. But still, they need more.
Economic and policy restrictions have both caused it to be harder to receive items donated to them. Because of this, they are working hard to try growing more locally produced food with the use of on-site gardens. They have also found a use for the moringa trees which provide needed nutrients like calcium, vitamin C, protein, and vitamin A.
They try to provide each child with the money for the required school fees that must be paid. They operate a co-op that produces the school uniforms that the children are required to wear. They also try to supply needed school supplies, and renovate buildings like the school and library. They help to drill new wells, so that the children can have fresh, clean water. They also help the local citizens in coming up with income producing projects.
As is true almost any time a country experiences extreme poverty conditions, funds for needed items are usually in short supply. Many churches partner with them to help supply the needed items. However, sometimes they encounter difficulties in getting the items to them. The ability to purchase and ship nutritional foods like rice and beans has been hindered.
Many schools are trying to help their schools by giving old computers and school furniture. They often will also do clothing and food drives to try to help. Some work hard to gather personal hygiene items that are always in short supply. Even with this help, they could still use more donated items.
Even when people donate freely to the Zimbabwe Mission, problems still arise. They must have a means of getting the donated items to them. Many of the sea shipping crates used to ship the items can cost upwards of ten thousand dollars. Sometimes things donated to them sit in storage crates because they cannot be shipped to them. Any help that anyone is able to give to help them would be very much appreciated and needed. They have many loving caregivers who work hard to give them each a better life. Sometimes it is easy to forget just how fortunate we are. Perhaps we can lend them a much needed hand by donating funds or materials to these desperate people.
