Site: Murambinda Camp Site, Zimbabwe
Description: This is an extremely rural area which serves as a location for numerous evangelistic meetings in Zimbabwe. Sadly, this site has perennial water contamination problems. Due to inflation, local officials struggled to raise the 9.2 billion Zimbabwe dollars for buying and laying the pipes. In May of 2008, 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 this area utilized by thousands of Zimbabweans each year for worship services.
Status: Completed May 8, 2008

- "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.
