The kitchen is near completion.

All good things take time, and such is the case with the Shinga Development Trust’s children’s village for orphans in Zimbabwe.

And the time is near when Shinga founder and director Margaret Makambira will be realizing her dream – and the dreams of dozens of orphans who will soon have what so many children in the United States take for granted – a bed to sleep in at night, a breakfast, lunch and dinner during the day, a school to attend with teachers who are helping them to succeed, and people who cherish and love them.

We here at Bread and Water for Africa® are proud to be Margaret’s partner in such a worthy project and can’t say who is more excited to see it come to fruition before the end of this year, her, the children who will have a place to call home, or us.
