Project Report | Mar 5, 2009
March 2009 Update

By Gillian Wilson | Communications Director

GCN recently reported to us about their activities for the last 6 months of 2008. Despite the challenges facing GCN and the people of Zimbabwe GCN continues to be effective in serving girls, albeit in new ways amidst the well-known turmoil in Zimbabwe.

While the government had restricted some of GCN’s activities, GCN reports they provided school fees for 81 girls, including orphans, underprivileged and those affected and infected by HIV/AIDS

As well as paying school fees for girls they are also providing emergency assistance such as food packs and sanitary supplies for girls living in desperate conditions.

The Hwange Empowerment Village, the shelter for abused or abandoned girls, also continues to provide limited services.

Nothing short of remarkable, GCN continues to provide a vision along with critically needed services for a brighter Zimbabwe.
