Zimpeto Youth and Community Housing Program

October 2023 Zimpeto Youth & Community Housing Program Update

Lidia is one of the many widows who faithfully and regularly attends our church.

At a recent visit to her house, we discovered Lidia's bathroom had collapsed, the roof leaked, and her home was without a secure door.

It was our joy with IMC's support to rebuild her toilet, put in a new roof and door, and build a wall to secure her property.

We were pleased to be able to give the job to a local builder - pastor Samuel. God is good!

April 2023 Zimpeto Youth & Community Housing Program Update

Maputo experienced devastating flooding in February. Hundreds of families/people from the local community came to us seeking help. Roofs, house walls, bathrooms, etc. were destroyed.

One of our graduates, Nonocha, lives in a badly flooded area. Her toilet and shower area (outside) were washed away.

Nonocha cares for three children on her own. Because IMC stepped in to assist us, we could send a construction team to build them a new facility quickly.

The generosity of IMC donors is providing hope for many. Thank you!

October 2022 Zimpeto Youth & Community Housing Update

While the Zimpeto centre offers a  loving environment, the desire for most children is to be part of a family.

It is not always possible to place a child back into their biological family, so we encourage our workers and pastors to possibly care for one of the youths who haven't the means to live in a family unit.

Dinis and his wife have looked after a young man for more than 4 years. With the assistance of IMC, we are extending their house, and looking for others with the same heart.

One of the most precious stories over the last year has been that of Amancio.

IMC and many other donors helped Amancio with emergency surgery in South Africa for a badly infected foot. His recovery was truly miraculous.

Following his surgery and recovery, Amancio's hope/request was to move off of the base and live with his sister and her husband. The house needed to have an extension added and be renovated on the inside.

October 2021 Zimpeto Youth and Community Housing Program Update

In 2020 the Zimpeto team shared the great need for housing within the community. Because of the generosity of IMC's donors, we rejoiced in helping extend the reintegration housing project to include those in the local community.

So much of the community around the base live in houses that are either falling apart and need a rebuild, or need serious repairs.
