See possibility in the face of poverty and climate change
UnitingWorld has launched its 2025 End of Financial Year Appeal, inviting supporters to see possibility where the world often sees only poverty.
This year’s appeal supports a bold initiative in Zimbabwe, where our local partner, the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe, is transforming rural schools into hubs of resilience. The program tackles hunger, water scarcity and climate change by installing solar-powered water systems, growing school gardens and training families in climate-smart agriculture.
Thirteen-year-old Tanaka Chiza is one of the students already experiencing the change.
“Before, it was hard to concentrate in class when I was hungry,” she said.
“But now we have a garden and food at school. I’m learning how to grow vegetables and I want to teach my mother so we can eat better at home.”
The impact reaches far beyond school gates. Rev. Junior Paradza, a former lawyer turned minister, is helping lead the project.
“Water means everything in these villages,” she said.
“Now, families have enough to grow their own food. We’re seeing real change, and people are full of hope.”
Please give generously before 30 June.
Thanks to UnitingWorld’s partnership with the Australian Government, gifts can go up to six times further to support life-changing work in Zimbabwe and across the Pacific, Asia and Africa.
