[ePrayer – Pray for partner Trinity]

eprayer20130920-c1

CEDAR’s partner Trinity in Zimbabwe used to operate as a Trust to strive for the rights of the widows and orphans in the HIV/AIDS affected families. Give thanks that they are recognised as a PVO (Private Voluntary Organization) in Sep 2013. In 2012 – 2013, Trinity assisted 137 children to attain their legal status. Some health centers release birth confirmation records at no charge as a result of the lobbying of Trinity. They are now exploring the needs of rural areas in other areas, and also expanding the project from being only legal consultation to income generation & skills training.

Pray for partner Trinity:

  • Pray for His guidance in the direction of Trinity. Pray that Trinity will be sensitive to the needs of the families and assist them to advocate for their rights. Pray that more government departments will be willing to provide free and convenient services 
  • Pray for His provision. As most deprived families lack money to pursue their cases, Trinity needs more financial resources. Their most immediate need is a project vehicle and also funds to pay the salaries of their staffs.

20130516_eprayer_c2

The prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe is high and affecting many families. Many widows and orphans are left without assistance and cannot exercise their rights to access to assistance or inheritance. CEDAR partner Trinity Project Trust is used to assist the poor who cannot produce the aforementioned legal documents to gain rightful access to their estates or resolve other property grabbing problems. From this July, they will try to tackle with the cultural practices (e.g. verbal confirmation is enough to confirm a marriage), the fear of witch craft (e.g. bring a baby out of her/his home only after 3 months) and other socio-cultural factors of Zimbabwean through counseling and advocacy.

Pray for the rights of HIV/AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe:

  • May God use this approach to make people aware of the importance of various kinds of registration;
  • Pray that partner can raise enough fund to implement the project.

Zimbabwe Trinity Project Trust

Posted on by 施達基金會

The prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe is high and affecting many families. Many widows and orphans are left with insufficient resources for basic living. They have the rights to access to assistance or inheritance if they can present the marriage certificate, birth certificate, and the death certificates of their deceased family members. However, many of the poor delay registering for these certificates for reasons such as complex  administrative procedure and lacking fund to pay for the expenses incurred. As a result, they are left without assistance and cannot exercise their rights. Meanwhile, property grabbing by relatives is very common among these families. In many occasions these widows and orphans are chased away from their own houses which may be the only property left by the deceased.

CEDAR supports Trinity Project Trust to organize awareness raising workshops and trainings for empowering children and the communities, demanding and protecting the children’s rights through early birth registration, access to parental death certificates and apply for their shares of the inheritance. Adults are also encouraged to write their wills, safeguarding their family’s access to their inheritance. Our partner also assists the poor who cannot produce the aforementioned legal documents to gain rightful access to their estates or resolve other property grabbing problems.
