NYATSIME, ZIMBABWE

In the few short months since TUACT, Counselling Center opened its doors to 4 preschoolers, it has grown quickly and 23 precious kids are now receiving education and care.  Some of the children had dropped out of other pre-schools due to their inability to pay school fees. We were happy to help fund some nutritious meals consisting of maputi, mahewu, sadzas, vegies, rice and tomato soup. In this impoverished community this is sometimes their main meal in a day.
