In addition to poverty
and AIDS, Hands of Hope battles soaring inflation.
Two years ago, it cost $700 per year to feed and
house one child. Today, those costs have soared
to over $2,000. Building material is scarce and
costs have soared as a result. Homegrown food is
now rare, forcing the most basic items to be imported
from generous nations. And AIDS treatment drugs
are roughly $50 per child per month.
Zimbabwe's children need your help!

| Helen, Age 9 |
|
Helen's parents died when she was only four years old, leaving her, two brothers, and two sisters behind. When asked about what
makes life better now that she is at Westgate, she proudly states,with a giggle, rice and chicken! She also loves her new friends,
the other eight girls she plays with and goes to school with everyday.
At school, she enjoys math, art, English, and basketball. With all of those subjects to learn and enjoy, it's no wonder she wants
to be a teacher for grade four when she grows up.
