What We Do for Zimbabwe Pensioners in Retirement HomesThere are some 6000 old aged pensioners in Zimbabwe. Please donate to the ZANE Pensioners Appeal by clicking here now. The targeted elderly people are those on local pensions, or in some cases, without pensions at all. They will have lived in Zimbabwe most or all of their lives and may well have been part of the war effort in World War ll. Their pensions and savings will have diminished to such an extent that they can no longer afford to live and many receive no (or very little) assistance from their relatives. Some in fact have been abandoned by relatives who have now moved country and have no more to do with them whatsoever. There are many Zimbabwe pensioners in these categories in the retirement homes.Because of the ravages of hyper-inflation the management personnel of the homes are facing an endless series of crises and many of them are now near to breaking point. They are unable to buy essential items such as bread, meat, eggs or milk and neither can they carry out essential repairs on their homes. Further, they cannot regularly buy petrol, diesel, lavatory paper, shampoo, soap, toothpaste or cleaning materials. ZANE is working with the homes to keep them open for the sake of the Zimbabwe pensioners. Although it is a very sobering experience to visit these places, these visits are also uplifting due to the home staff's spirit of determination in dire circumstances. The Zimbabwe pensioners themselves are proud and reluctant to talk of their problems. Please donate to the ZANE Pensioners Appeal by clicking here now. |
