Zimbabwean Refugees

Volunteers preparing the food we provide for

Due to the Zimbabwean crisis, there is a huge shortage of food and medical care in the country. It’s virtually impossible for the average citicen to purchase just a loaf of bread. Most Zimbabweans are out of their jobs, and the corrupt military is roaming the towns and villages, burning down houses and robbing people of their last possessions, leaving people desolate, wounded and angry. Daily hundreds of desperate Zimbabweans migrate illegally over the border rivers to seek Asylum in South Africa.
Our first priority is to organize the relief aid in ways that are both effective and in co-operation with the legal procedures and local authorities.

 

Zimbabwean Orphans

Fleeing from war, destruction and deseases are many children, who either lost their parents on the way or are deserted by them to fend for themselves. This hits the children hard, especially the girls who find themselves more then often victims of abuse and rape. It is important to provide a safe haven for these children where their physical and emotional need are met and they are given a chance to have a relatively normal future. That means education, spiritual guidance and trauma counseling are needed.
It is estimated that thousands of children are illegally crossing over the more than 240 km border.
Currently we dont have the funds to provide housing for many of them, but we trust God to help us set up houses of safety this year.
