UnitingWorld EOFY Appeal
The Methodist Church in Zimbabwe needs your help. Across rural Zimbabwe, hunger and water scarcity are forcing children out of school, and families into poverty.
Uniting Church partner, the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe, is leading bold, practical solutions, providing clean water and building food security. But they can’t do it alone.
The UnitingWorld End of Financial Year Appeal (EOFY) will help grow this work to impact thousands of children and families in Zimbabwe and beyond.
The Appeal website has all the information, an inspirational project video to share, and a link to resources for churches.
