MRCH supporters Graham and Lynda Jones are raising funds to buy a new generator.\u00a0 They write:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe electricity supply in Zimbabwe is erratic and MRCH can sometimes go for days without power.\u00a0 That creates real problems.\u00a0 Cooking has to be done on open fires and firewood is getting hard to find.\u00a0 Projects like tomato-growing need water that has to be pumped.\u00a0 Meat can\u2019t be frozen so sometimes goes to waste.\u00a0 Drugs for children with HIV\/Aids can\u2019t be kept refrigerated.\u00a0 When the power is off, computers sit useless.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we visited MRCH last year, it was clear that a new generator would make a huge difference.\u00a0 The home aims to cover fuel and maintenance, so we\u2019re looking to raise \u00a317,000 for the purchase and installation.\u00a0 If we beat our target, the extra will help towards the running costs.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
