The PKZ team returns to the Daisy Dube Children's Village!

Things are very tough in Zimbabwe with fuel prices at approximately $8.50 a gallon causing food, building supplies and transportation prices to increase dramatically.

Monica Mpatsi, Daisy Dube Transition Manager, told PKZ Director Vrante Mahlupeko Jambaya that they are very appreciative of the food donations. We all appreciate the fine work being provided by Monica and the matrons under challenging conditions.

Our support of this work is so important with upwards of 70% of the people of Zimbabwe experiencing food insecurity.

Additional info is captioned under each photo.

Thank you to our amazing network of supporters who help feed the kids and who are assisting in the building of their home. You are a blessing!

PKZ Director Vrante Mahlupeko Jambaya enjoyed a visit with young Peter while in Harare yesterday. Vrante reports that Peter was excited to have a visitor and that the medical staff is simply outstanding!

It is a blessing that Peter has this opportunity for care. The Harare doctor is prescribing much of the same medication as the Chipinge doctor did. More testing is underway.

PKZ honors the Day of the African Child today with the distribution of 100 dresses at Samhusta Primary School and 65 reusable sanitary pad kits at Samhusta Secondary School.

Both schools are in Samhusta Village, Ward 2, along the Ngaone Road in Chipinge. The primary school was devastated by Cyclone Idai in March 2019 and is still struggling to complete a school classroom block seven years later.

PKZ Director Vrante Mahlupeko Jambaya says Headmaster Mlambo reported that many students drop out due to difficulties in paying school fees, which has been further complicated by the cyclone's destruction of their fields. Many families moved to mountainous areas because of the cyclone.

Deepest appreciation goes to the people of Dress A Girl Around the World of Southern Maine. Their donation of dresses brings hope, dignity, and self-respect to these young girls.

The reusable sanitary pad kits enables high school girls to attend school without falling behind academically by missing a week of school each month. Something so simple empowers these girls to greater heights!

Thank you to all who support this amazing effort. We still have so much left to do, and with your help we will get there!

PKZ Director Vrante Mahlupeko Jambaya (wearing his KEY-DAY builders t-shirt) and builder Maxwell Makuyana are having some fun using the machine to tamp down the foundation area for the Daisy Dube Children's Village home. Justin Mawonde, electrician and plumber, is placing the pipes for the wiring. The cement is next!

Ingenious how Calvin Mubaso has that kind of 'pulley system' with wire and a stick to keep the machine in the right place!
