The following is taken from one of the local newspapers out here:
The united nations have said of Zimbabwe that 37% of Zimbabwe’s children have no birth registration whilst 100 children a day die of preventable diseases. The UNICEF world body wants the country to make sure health and education services are achieving the basic needs which are required for society. An official was quoted as saying “during the past decade Zimbabwe has experienced socio-economic difficulties which have resulted in significant challenges in access to education, health, water and sanitation.” 30% do not have access to safe water and 40% no access to safe sanitation. 42% of rural folk practice open defecation.
We hope that if we can be a small hope or change in one of these areas then we believe we have achieved something for these wonderful people.
