The Zimbabwe mission is in dire need of help. The country is located just above Africa and just below Zambia. The country is in severe trouble. With the economy all but collapsed, most of its citizens live in extreme poverty. There are extreme food shortages.
One project in particular is working hard to help these poor people. The Zimbabwe Mission project works to aid about a thousand needy orphans . They have built and continue to operate the Heather Chimhoga Orphan Center. They strive to provide two nutritious meals each day to around a thousand orphans and preschoolers.
A great majority of the children they serve also suffer from severe medical diseases such as AIDS. They have been able to get a full-time nurse who is able to help with many of the children's medical requirements. With various groups donating both medicine and medical help, the mortality rate of the children has decreased. However, they could still use more medical supplies.
With tighter restraints on both the economy and policy problems, it is becoming more difficult to get the items that have been donated for their use. They are trying to grow more food locally in an on-site garden. They have had some success in growing moringa trees which are high in vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, protein, calcium, 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 with any country suffering severe poverty, they are having a hard time getting enough funds for the things they need. Even though they have several churches that provide them with much needed food and supplies, it is sometimes quite difficult to get the items to them. They are hindered in their ability to buy and ship much needed food like beans and rice.
Some schools are also donating old computers and old school furniture to them. They also sponsor many food and clothing drives. Some focus on gathering much needed personal hygiene items. However, they need even more items.
Even with many people giving generously to the Zimbabwe Mission, difficulties still occur. The donated items must be shipped to them. Some of the crates used to ship the items by sea are quite expensive. They can cost at least 10 thousand dollars each. Too often, donated items are in storage crates, because the funds are not readily available to ship them. Many caregivers give lovingly of their time to give to them. They need the help of all of us. We should be willing to give to those who are less fortunate than us.
