Zimbabwe is one of eight countries that Hands at Work is serving in across Africa. Zimbabwe has a population of 18,830,740 people, with 40% of the population living in extreme poverty. Ranking 159 out of 187 on the Human Development Index, 70,000 children are living with HIV/AIDS and 480,000 children have been orphaned because of this life-threatening illness. – Sources: UNAID, UNDP, World Poverty Clock
As we start the week, please join us in praying for the country of Zimbabwe:
“Pray for our economy in general as services are deteriorating.
Pray for our children who are not going to school because of money. Most are staying at home and now wandering in streets, leading to early marriages and use of drugs.
Pray for our churches and church leaders to be strong, and the Holy Spirit to lead as many people are now believing in witchcraft.” – Terry, Regional Support Team Leader (Zimbabwe)
