"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done." In many ways, the mere act of being charitable is its own reward. But as this verse notes, being compassionate to people who are less fortunate is also something that God will reward.

Facts about poverty: What are the big issues?

How does health impact poverty? Does a lack of education cause poverty, or does poverty create a lack of access to education? And can poor health impact education, too? It gets complicated. Cause and effect can be difficult to pin down. In reality, all of these challenges are intertwined.

SACSAN Initiative On Health
Poverty and health are strongly linked. Health problems can plunge people into poverty or keep them from escaping it, and those in poverty are more likely to suffer disease because they can't afford treatment. That's why we have to1 focus on improving health for kids.

SACSAN Initiative On Education
Education is really important, but its role in giving kids a ticket out of poverty is huge! Iat’s one of the key areas of focus in our poverty-fighting approach.

SACSAN Initiative On Empowerment
Empowering kids is one of the biggest part of this Initiative. But what does it mean? Giving kids access to the basic tools they need to succeed. Instilling in them confidence that they can break free from poverty. Building them into engaged citizens of their communities. To name just a few, of course!

SACSAN Initiative On Employment
“Get a job!” If only it were that easy. Stable employment is key for escaping poverty, which is why we will work so hard to help our teens find it. But significant barriers to finding jobs obviously will stand in the way. When work is available, it is often no cakewalk. So the Foundation will aim to creating the employment.

SACSAN Initiative On Technology
We live in a technologically enabled world, and the use of mobile phones is more far-reaching than you might think. Still, some areas of the world are almost completely left out.

Global poverty and hunger
Not enough food. Not enough of the right vitamins and minerals to be healthy. Obesity from too much food with too little nutrition. The how, what, when and where of food disparity is a difficult nut to crack – and even more so when dealing with poverty.

The journey to end poverty for good begins with a child.

Growing up in poverty, children face tough challenges: hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and medical services, social discrimination and isolation. But with support from people like you, we can help children get the health care, education, life skills, job-readiness training and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities. Together, we can end poverty for good....

Our country's political unrest, food shortages, inflation, and HIV/AIDS are among the reasons for the flight of thousands of Zimbabweans looking for work and escape from political oppression. HIV/AIDS affects a large percentage our population. If a stable standard family is currently almost failing to meet the basic needs in the house, imagine an orphan and vulnerable child that couldn't afford it in the first place. It is the mission of Gmakom Foundation to help facilitate total transformation of these children's lives, we need to help them realize their full potential in life. We aim to help children's homes with providing good shelter, food, clothing, education, health care, and counseling to orphaned and vulnerable children, who would have nothing otherwise.

5 Prominent Issues, Some of these issues were identified by some children who have been in such circumstances or managed to escape them and some by the general public:

HIV/AIDS
There are approximately 1.2 million orphans in Zimbabwe and more than 890,000 were orphaned due to HIV/AIDS.

Abuse
If a parent doesn't physical discipline a child its apparently seen as a sign of weakness in a parent, and because of this and other factors our country has disturbingly high rates of child abuse, both physical and sexual.

Destitution
Statistically 68% of the population of Zimbabwe lives below the national poverty line and unemployment is outrageously high.

Abandonment
With the cruel economic conditions in Zimbabwe, abandoning children is quite common.

Child Labor
Statistically 13% of children in Zimbabwe are engage in child labor. Which is not only physically and emotionally harmful to the child, but it hinders the child's educational opportunity.

Education is the key to ending poverty. We want to give children the education they need and fight the inequalities that stand in their way.

Our aim is to partner with urban, remote and rural communities where children are leaving school without vital basic skills. Our approach will help parents/children's homes and teachers to create sustainable, effective schools and to nurture these children's learning.

We want to ensure that vulnerable children get the right infrastructure, teaching and family support so that they can get the most out of their time at school and go on to lead productive, healthy and happy lives.....

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children. They will likely live up to what you believe of them. So we must teach our kids how to think, not what to think. The greatest legacy one can pass on to a child or grandchildren is not money or material things accumulated in life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. We focus more what a child will become tomorrow, to extent that we forget that he/she is someone today. Children are not things.... Help save a chlid today because they are our future.......
