Bulawayo
Help Network food appeal
Bulawayo Help Network
October 09, 2012
Bulawayo Help
Network is one of the Bulawayo charities supporting elderly people
who have been so badly impacted by the economic turmoil of the last
10 years. Many had sold houses, moved into smaller homes and invested
the proceeds expecting to be financially secure for the rest of
their days. However when hyper-inflation hit, they lost everything.
Many lost their pensions and what they receive today is totally
inadequate for their modest needs; all lost their medical aids;
and many lost their children who left for greener pastures.
2013 is obviously
going to be a year when food shortages rear again. Although food
is available in our local shops its cost has risen above the means
of many pensioners and the viability of Retirement homes is threatened.
We face another desperate situation similar to 2008. Our current
appeal is for food which will be distributed both to carefully selected
people in their private homes and to the retirement homes:
- Bartley
Block
- Bulawayo
Society for the Adult Blind ( Barbara Burrell)
- Coronation
Cottages
- Entembeni
- Ephukumuleni
Geriatric Centre
- Edith Duly
Nursing Home
- Garden Park
Trust
- Moth Kinghaven
- Salvation
Army Ralstein Home
- Rhodes Jubilee
Cottages
- Queen Mary
House
We also support
a feeding scheme for elderly people and orphans in Pelandaba.
If you would
like to help feed pensioners in Bulawayo and Gweru the best way
would be to send money to Bulawayo Help Network. You can do this
by emailing us and we will provide you with our bank details.
