Without a modest and immediate infusion of capital, these clinics will continue to decline and lives will continue to be lost.
We Need You as the Chabadza Healing Hands Campaign Kicks Off!
In July, 2014, eight members of our mission team visited five rural medical clinics in the remote rural regions of Manicaland, Zimbabwe. It was clear to all of us that these clinics, while strategically located, suffered from a long period of neglect and support funding. All were in need of significant repair, maintenance and infrastructure additions and/or replacements. Past funding to address these issues had come from a small allocation from the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, other non-profit organizations, or mission groups from abroad.
There are no alternative care facilities in the rural communities served by these clinics. Without a modest and immediate infusion of capital, these clinics will continue to decline and lives will continue to be lost. We implore you, as part of the Christian community, to join with us in repairing and revitalizing these clinics.
In order to return the clinics to an acceptable medical standard, we estimate the collective aggregate cost to be $1,250,000 to $1,300,000 U.S. dollars. That’s an average of roughly $250,000 U.S. dollars per clinic. Further, we estimate that a modest annual amount of $10,000 U.S. dollars per clinic will maintain each of these five upgraded facilities on an ongoing basis.
When Christian communities unite to address these needs, we are confident that we can collectively make the necessary improvements. With your donations, we will save lives!
Jesus healed the sick and was compassionate to the marginalized. In John 14:12, Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do…”
He says in Matthew 25:40, “…truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
Finally, in James 2:26, we read, “For just as the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.”
Please put your faith into action and join our effort to improve and save the lives of the people of Zimbabwe who are in desperate need. We are asking you to open your hearts to the marginalized. 100% of your tax-deductible gift to Chabadza will be used to support our work to repair and revitalize these five rural clinics in Zimbabwe.
