In places like Zimbabwe nearly half of the population now lives on less than $2 a day. COVID-19, economic shocks, rising prices, and other factors have left many families struggling to access the nutrition they need just to survive.
Oscar*, a vivacious eight-year-old boy, lives with his single mother and many aunts. His mother works as a vegetable vendor, selling produce at local markets. Due to COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions, Oscar’s mother was unable to operate her business effectively. Without adequate income she struggled to provide for her son’s basic needs. Oscar constantly felt hungry. Thankfully people like you stepped in, and Oscar was able to attend the feeding program hosted by our in-country partners. When he first started coming to the program, Oscar said his only ambition was to eat as much as he could. He was so hungry he would often come back for thirds. But after a month in the program, Oscar began dreaming of bigger things. Now that his nutritional needs are met, he dreams of becoming an engineer when he grows up. He wants to work hard so he can one day help provide for his mother. Oscar is also learning about God’s love and care for him. Your generosity expresses the kindness of Jesus to children like Oscar, meeting their immediate physical needs and providing them — and their families — with opportunities to hear about the eternal hope of Jesus and build a brighter future. *Name changed for security purposes. |
