A disabled Bulawayo based Zimbabwean family needs help after being let down by the Jairos Jiri association.
 
Mr John Jemwa and family, affected by a hereditary and rare condition affecting eyesight, are failing to get a meal each day after their Econet kiosk (pictured) was shut down due to a deficit not exceeding $2,500.00 in total.

The family (pictures below) is one of thousands of struggling people under the Jairos Jiri Association who have been pushed onto the streets as the organisation transformed itself into a vocational training centre, no longer a rehabilitation institution as its status proffers.
 
His disabled daughter(pictured), Trish who was born with one eye, needs an urgent eye operation called corneal grafting. The operation is very expensive and has to be done urgently at any eye hospital.

The total amount is $2500 needed to run the kiosk.
