Meet Jeffrey We took him into our third
home from a large institution
of 40 children.
In the institution he was unhappy and never smiled
After one week of being with us, in a home with a mummy and seven brothers and sisters he changed and is now a happy little lad.

8% of the population of Zimbabwe are orphaned or abandoned children. . .
that’s around 1.2 million children
What more can we do?

We have bought a 30 acre farm on which to build a Children’s Village.

each

We need to farm and rear animals and become as self sufficient as possible
And the children need to learn the skills they need to survive

We now have 400 layers and are selling eggs to raise money to care
for the children.
