GIVE THEM A GOOD START |
The Just Children Foundation (TJCF) is an independent organization located in Harare Zimbabwe. TJCF is helping to lift Zimbabwe's AIDS orphans out of poverty and a future of uncertainty, by providing them with a home and a guidance to steps towards a better future. In June of 2006, HAZ chose to partner with TJCF in the HAZ-Just Children Foundation Pilot Project (HAZ-JCFPP or HAZ-JCPP) in recognition of the tremendous work TJCF is performing in Zimbabwe, under very challenging conditions. We are glad to announce that we delivered over US$1,200 worth of baby formula to The Just Children Foundation on September 22nd, 2007. CLICK HERE TO READ THE COMPLETE FINAL PROJECT REPORT

Issues facing children in Zimbabwe:
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) states the following about Zimbabwe:
Since 1990, HIV/AIDS has slashed the average life expectancy from 61 to 33 years.
Because of the cuts in donor funding, Zimbabwe receives the lowest donor support in southern Africa for people living with HIV, at only $4 per person per year; for comparison, in neighbouring Zambia the figure is $184 per person per year.
Approximately 1.3 million, or one fifth of all Zimbabwean children have lost a parent; most have been orphaned by AIDS.
Drought, a land-redistribution scheme, and skyrocketing inflation have produced serious food shortages.
More than half the population lives on less than $1 a day.
Shortages in personnel, equipment and supplies plague Zimbabwe’s health-care infrastructure.
Infant and under-five mortality rates have worsened sharply.
