“The first thing that struck me being in Zambia was how isolated some of these communities are. When we visited Katetaula I discovered that there is only one source of water in the whole community. My heart broke. I found that my prayer for this community was: ‘The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. - Isaiah 58:11.’”
- Charissa Cloete (Volunteer, South Africa) reflects on one of the communities that she has visited while in Zambia

Seven-year-old Carlo* lives with his four brothers, two sisters and his mother who struggles with a mental illness. His mother’s mental health struggles started to become more noticeable after she was physically abused by her husband. The money that Carlo’s father makes from selling charcoal is used to buy alcohol. But thankfully, the Care Workers have taken Carlo under their wings of protection, and are committed to nurturing him with a daily meal as well as great love and care.
