The Great Need In The Zimbabwe Mission

By Katrina Wheeler


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.

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.

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.

Each child must pay a required school fee. They are doing their best to make sure that this fee is paid for each child. A co-op is operated that makes the schools uniforms that the children must wear. They also work to supply school supplies, and to do renovations on buildings like the schools and libraries. They are drilling new wells to make sure clean, fresh water is always available. They are also teaching many local citizens trades for projects to produce personal income.

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 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.
