Primary Problem:
HIV/AIDS - It is estimated that nearly 60% of the population is infected with this disease. Hundreds of children are abandoned every month due to HIV/AIDS. Malnutrition, threat of food shortages and unemployment are growing rapidly.

How We Are Helping:
We have three areas of rescue in Zimbabwe. First, we are working with Community Based Orphan Care. CBOC is when families and neighbors choose to care for those orphaned in the community. Zimbabwe is an extremely family-oriented culture. If given the sustenance, the communities would prefer to care for their own. Presently, hundreds of pounds of food are being supplied to such care every month. Second, we are helping to care for 37 children in the Ivordale Orphanage. Some of these children came to the orphanage HIV infected and after prayer and good food have been found to be free of the disease. Third, the orphan crisis has grown beyond anyone's control, so in 2005 we will be purchasing another building to house, care, disciple, and train more orphans. In addition to the orphan care we are working with Dr. Andrew Reid. Dr. Reid, at a cost of $30/month is able to give HIV medications that will literally save the lives of the adults on the protocol. If we can save the adults, we begin to solve the orphan challenge.
