December 2011 Zimpeto Widows' Home Project Update

Meet Louisa, an albino widow who has 4 children. We found her living in very poor conditions. As she has 4 children, we could not place her in the widows’ house. Louisa lives in a spare house at the youth project at Maracuene. She has a small business. Last week her Mom was visiting (what a great family photo!!).

Below are two photos of Salima Chipangue. Salima loves living in the house and is cared for by neighbours, Jannie and Dulcie. She doesn't like people talking badly of her because she lives in such a beautiful house!! Salima would love for another lady to live with her and we are currently looking for up to 5 more widows to join move in. Salima doesn't remember how old she is.

We continue to support many widows and old people in the community. They generally do not want to leave their local area. There are no old people’s homes in Mozambique!!!
