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.
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.
They are now facing even tighter restraints with both policy and economic issues. Once items are donated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to receive the goods. They are trying to compensate by growing more local foods using on-site gardens. They have also found a particular tree, the moringa, to be especially high in things like protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, and calcium.
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.
Most places suffering with severe economic problems usually are short on funds. They are no exception. Even though they have partnerships with various churches to help with their need of food and supplies, they often encounter difficulties in receiving these goods. Nutritional foods like rice or beans are often very difficult to both buy and get shipped to them.
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 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.
