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.
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.
In addition to nutritional needs, a large portion of these particular children have either AIDS or other serious illnesses. A full-time nurse is now available to provide for many of their medical requirements. Generous donations of both medical help and medicines have helped to significantly reduce their child mortality rate. However, they can use even more help from others.
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.
One important goal is paying for each child's required school fee. A co-op is operated to supply school uniforms that each child must wear. Another goal is to supply any necessary school supplies and to keep the schools and libraries in good working order. They have helped with the drilling of wells to make sure a fresh, clean supply of water is available. They also work with many local people to create money making 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 the many generous gifts of various organizations for the Zimbabwe Mission, they still encounter massive problems. Once donated, they often have difficulty getting the items shipped to their location. A lot of the sea shipping crates cost about ten thousand dollars or more to ship. Often needed donated items sit for long periods of time in storage, because no one has the money to pay for the shipping. Funds are needed to get the donations to them. Many very loving caregivers give up their time to help these children. We who are more fortunate, should at least be willing to donate to this very worthy cause. They definitely need our help.
