Site: Murambinda Camp Site, Zimbabwe
Description: This is an underdeveloped campsite which serves as a location for numerous evangelistic meetings in Zimbabwe. Sadly, this site has perennial water problems. Due to inflation, local officials were struggling to raise the 9.2 billion Zimbabwe dollars for buying and laying the pipes. The W.A. Smith Foundation supplied the final 1/3 of the funds necessary to lay 2km of pipes in order to drain sewage from and bring secure fresh-water to the campsite.
Status: Completed May 8, 2008
Why Murambinda, Zimbabwe?
- April 30, 2008: NY Times "Mr. Mugabe has wreaked havoc on his country – inflation is more than 100,000 percent and life expectancy has dropped to below 40 – and most Zimbabweans are eager, indeed desperate, for a change."
- "Buhera district in East Zimbabwe is one of the largest and fastest growing districts in terms of membership, despite the socioeconomic and political problems, drought, HIV/AIDS and poverty. We have 28 churches and 20 companies, under one pastor." A.N Mangwende, Buhera District Pastor.
