Waiting for the food distribution center to open

Severe drought in Zimbabwe has made emergency food distribution vital.

Mothers and children will sometimes walk as far as 30 km to ask for food.

Waiting in line, hoping for food during the drought.

After retiring as a librarian in Oregon, Paula Leen moved to Zimbabwe, and founded the Murwira Children's Home. Paula lived and served in Zimbabwe for over 30 years until she retired this year.

Agathos has distributed nearly 1.5 million meals through the Murwira Children's Home.

Agathos was able to provide food to some families suffering from severe malnourishment.

The orphanage grows as much as possible to help supplement the emergency food supplies it receives.
