ZIMBABWE

Currently in the midst of an economic, social and political crisis, and many of the great advances made since independence - in health, agriculture and education - have crumbled.

Now, many people are struggling to survive as inflation rates continue to escalate.  Zimbabwe is a country where more than 92 per cent of the work-force does not have a regular income and there is a sweeping deadly threat of disease from HIV and AIDS claiming more lives daily.

Key Challenges

We have our own office in Zimbabwe where our staff carry out their charity duties at remote villages including towns and cities caring for those badly in need of vital medicines and foods.

'MWANA ijira rinofukwa navanhu vose' is an old Shona adage which when literally translated means 'A child is a blanket that is shared by all', in effect meaning a child is everyone's responsibility.

Problems are widespread

Across Zimbabwe over one million children are experiencing poverty, enormous mental stress from witnessing the illness and death of their parents and loved ones and a profound sense of real insecurity.  These inadequately met concerns are the fundamental human rights and needs of children and there is an urgent requirement to ameliorate their physical and psycho-social distress and suffering.

It can not be denied that the health care system in Zimbabwe has long since collapsed and Zimbabwe's internal efforts to fight AIDS have in fact been constantly thwarted and undermined by the international community, for 'technical' and yet ultimately political reasons.
