This is Faith and her grandmother Mutara whom she lives with. Faith’s father died and her mother remarried and has no means of generating income. Faith’s grandmother had 4 children of which 3 have died living their children who are taken care of by Faith’s grandmother Mutara. She is very poor. This year there was drought but even still she does not have cattle to till the land to produce some agricultural produce. Faith looked malnourished. Thankfully, one of our supporters who sponsors Faith’s education spotted the signs and gives supports to Faith and her grandmother by donating towards food and supplies.
It was a great day to Elliot and Knight’s grandmother Chidzambwa when she was informed that the two grandsons had found sponsors. Elliot and Knight’s parents died same day in a car accident. Their grandmother is living in Zimbabwe with no way for her of enabling her to generate income. She cried with tears of joy as she had no idea of how she will afford to educate these two grandchildren. Recently a couple that supports the charity heard the story of this grandmother and is now donating towards food aid for Elliot and Knight’s grandmother Chidzambwa.
