The Current Suffering Among Children

‍

In Zimbabwe, children have faced heartbreaking struggles for decades. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has claimed hundreds of thousands of parents in Zimbabwe, leaving behind an entire generation of orphans. Many of these children grow up without stability, exposed to hunger, abuse, and exploitation while struggling to survive in poverty and hunger-stricken communities. With families torn apart and opportunities scarce, children continue to suffer from the lasting impact of disease, neglect, and economic collapse. The need to support those who are protecting and empowering these children is critical.
