ZIMBABWE: WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH INNOCENT ENDOWMENT
Established on April 28, 2006 by William and Elizabeth Innocent of South Hadley, Massachusetts.
Home to Victoria Falls and joyful people, yet according to statistics, 70 % of them live beneath the poverty line. The country is racked by AIDS (The World Factbook says a full 1/3 of the country’s adults are HIV positive, with at least 800,000 AIDS orphans); inflation is out of control; and the chaotic land distribution campaign begun by President Mugabe in 2000 has caused an exodus of white farmers and crippled the economy. Heifer International in Zimbabwe has livestock projects including dairy cattle, draft animals, donkeys, pigs, goats, rabbits and ostrich. The recipients receive training in agro-forestry, animal care and drought mitigation to improve nutrition and income to provide daily necessities and education fees. There is also much work with orphans and their caregivers.
