Responding To Need

About Us ( from the Victim Support Fund website)
 

When the Zimbabwe Victims' Support Fund (ZVSF) was started in 2002 none of those involved anticipated that the country would still be in deep crisis all these years later. In fact the suffering today is just as widespread and intense, and still there remain huge areas of desperate need which are not being met either by the United Nations or international aid organizations.

Most of the time Zimbabwe is low on the radar of the world media and consequently it is not that easy to track events in the country. Moreover the few events reported do not always reflect the harsh reality of daily living for ordinary Zimbabweans, whether urban or rural. For most that reality is an unremitting struggle for survival under an oppressive and uncaring regime, which means they must learn to cope somehow without adequate food, water, or even the most basic services.

For our part therefore we regard it as a high priority of ZVSF to keep our supporters well informed on the challenges faced by the people of Zimbabwe, focusing in on the desperate plight of the most vulnerable to whom our team bring a holistic ministry. We seek to provide the understanding and insight required for a real engagement, through prayer and material support, with the people and with our programme.
