With one room and a small storage area, with no electricity or running hot water, 

and with only the most basic supplies and drugs, the clinic at Heather Chimhoga Orphan Care

has been providing first aid, treatment for minor ailments, and life-saving care

for HIV-positive children for years.  Now, unless a new clinic can be built in another location

and be registered with the government, the clinic is in danger of losing AIDS medication

and other vital supplies provided by UNICEF.

The clinic is staffed by one nurse (Beauty) and one nurse aide (Florence) who work tirelessly to educate,

treat and refer patients, even making "house calls" to help ensure the health of their patients.

When more urgent care is needed, they transport the children many bumpy miles to the nearest hospital or clinic,

accompanying them and advocating for them as needed.

But without supplies from UNICEF these two dedicated women will be helpless in the

face of such overwhelming need.

The good news: construction is well underway on a simple, but adequate new clinic
which will meet all the requirements to register the clinic and secure UNICEF deliveries.
About $75,000 has been raised so far, and only about $30,000 more is needed.

We are so close to our goal! Will you help us complete this urgently needed facility?
