Zimbabwe 2014
‘Rescue and restore children by establishing families, instilling hope
and preparing them for the future.’
Our organisation, ‘Mind the Gap – Africa’, under Bulawayo Baptist Church wants to. . .
We have 17 children who have been orphaned or abandoned
living in a Family ‘Forever’ Home.
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.
Meet Thomas
He had been abandoned and had been in hospital for several months
He came to live with us in January 09
He is HIV, was malnourished and a very sick little boy
Then 18 months later. . . the right nutrition, ARV drugs taken
regularly and plenty of love
Education is important
Our teacher
Playing is important too!
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.
Welcome!
The farmhouse
We are hoping to build 12 of these houses to home 8 children in
each
The gardens
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.
The hen house
