10 Orphaned Adolescents Raise Pigs for Business

Thank you SO much!

By Tanya Weaver | Executive Director

Thank YOU so much for your continued support of the children we serve in Zimbabwe!  While we weren’t able to fund this entire micro-project, together, we were able to provide children with livestock, porridge, training and HOPE.   So many children have been affected by your generosity:

  • To date, 697 orphaned families (over 4,000 children) have started growing flocks and herds
  • As of yesterday, 78 families re-distributed animals to other needy families, which is such a fantastic story of dignity and caring – from one needy family to another
  • Children are going back to school, now that they have milk and eggs to sell
  • Children are gaining weight and are healthier now that their gardens are growing and that they have protein to eat and drink

You are wonderful – you cared for our kids and you acted.  Without you, we can’t do what we do.  Thanks for partnering with us!  All the beneficiaries are thrilled to have you in their corner and they have something to say to you: http://youtu.be/7saT2zeM_is

Please feel free to contact me at tweaver@AFCAids.org if you’d like to know more about our work or you’d like to get involved in more ways.

On behalf of all the children,

Tanya
