Congregation raises money for the Zimbabwe Emergency Appeal

Malnutrition, poverty, chronic unemployment, hyper-inflation, political repression, human rights abuses – a sea of suffering is engulfing the people of Zimbabwe. About a third of the 13 million population is struggling to feed itself, hampered by bad harvests and ineffective government.

Money raised through Tearfund's Zimbabwe appeal has helped feed many.  Food aid is being provided but hopes that the coming harvest would be good have been undermined by extensive recent flooding. Maize meal, a basic staple of the Zimbabwe diet, is in desperately short supply. Prices have rocketed as inflation has topped 26,000 per cent.

Tearfund is working with Zimbabwe’s churches to reach the vulnerable – children, the elderly and widows .  The congregation at St Francis have been raising  money to support the work of Tearfund, and have raised £113.95.  For more information about the work of Tearfund and the Zimbabwe appeal visit
