Washington East District Zimbabwe Project
Lydia Chimonyo School for Girls
Goal: $36,000


The Lydia Chimonyo School for Girls, Mutare South District, is a residential secondary school for 600 to 800 girls from across Zimbabwe. The district project involves building a dorm for 40 girls. The money raised will make it possible for the school to employ workers from the country. 

As shown above, we have achieved approximately 25% of our $36,000 goal. We can meet our goal if each church in Washington East District contributes $490 to this project. If your church has not yet made its contribution, please bring it to the Choir Festival.
