Partnerships in Zimbabwe

Many of you will know that I will be running the London Marathon in April, and attempting to raise £2000 for the work of Christian Aid. Every Thursday until then I will posting a short video to highlight one aspect of the work of Christian Aid.

This week we'll see how Christian Aid is able to work with a local partner organisation in SW Zimbabwe building dams and sinking wells. One project provides for whole communities - not just providing them will clean drinking water, but also allowing them to grow a range of crops and so providing a better diet. Excess food can then be taken to a new processing centre where it can be prepared for sale or dried and so providing nutrients for later in the dry season.

As it says on the video this makes an enormous difference for all those in the community. If you would like to sponsor me remember that anything that you can give will make a difference to some of the poorest communities in the world.
