The Zimbabwe Mission definitely needs more help. In a country located right below Zambia and right above Africa, the country is severely suffering. The economy has just about collapsed, and most citizens suffer in abject poverty. Food shortages are rampant.
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.
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.
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.
Various schools are trying to help by donating old school furniture and computers for their use. Many also hold clothing and/or food drives. Some focus primarily on getting the necessary personal hygiene items that are needed. Even with this help, they are in need of even more things.
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.
