Alicia Mureba
Zimbabwe
Mavende
Female | Age: 9 | Birthdate: January 1, 2016
Alicia lives with her family in the rural village of Mavende, where the typical home is constructed from mud bricks, with a grass roof and mud floor. There is no plumbing, electricity or running water and they must collect their water from the river or an unprotected well. In Mavende, Alicia will face many environmental and social challenges including malnutrition, AIDS and child abuse. Your sponsorship makes it possible for Alicia to attend school where she will receive nutritious food, basic health care and learn about God’s love for her. Her teacher tells us that Alicia recently got a bus to go to Ngundu and spend time with her family. Please remember to pray for Alicia. Your love and support will help her receive the assistance she needs to develop to her full potential.

Out of Zimbabwe's 15 million people, more than 1.3 million are orphans, making it the country with the highest number of orphans per capita worldwide. Parents usually die from the country's staggering HIV/AIDS epidemic often leaving older children burdened with the task of raising their younger siblings. Through the VisionTrust Zimbabwe program, we are able to help feed, educate and disciple these children.
