for a child in need
Civil war created Mozambique's first orphan crisis. A decade on, the country is threatened by a new emergency which is much more devastating and much harder to solve. In 16-years of civil war, 200,000 children were torn from their homes. Today, HIV/AIDS has already left an estimated 470,000 children orphaned, according to UNAIDS figures. The extent of the crisis is defying traditional coping mechanisms and the numbers of orphans is likely to escalate further.
The estimated number of people with disability in Mozambique is about 1,500,000. However, the real number of people with disability in this country could be higher than estimated if we take into account the question of land mines and the situation of extreme poverty to which this part of Southern Africa is subjected.The three organizations you see mentioned above are working together to fundraise and help orphans and the disabled of Mozambique. They need health care, food, clothing, education, and a safe place to stay.
Please
help us with our first of many shipments of health care equipment by donating
funds to pay the shipping costs. We are trying to raise $6,500 to cover
the cost of transport and the setting up of the equipment in a facility
in Matola, just outside the Capital Maputo. Help put a smile on a child’s
face after a lifetime of hardship and despair.
Your gift can help a child's
or disabled person's life
