Total number unknown:
“Statistics on the total number of children in orphanages
nation-wide are unavailable, but care givers say their
facilities were becoming unmanageably overwhelmed almost on
a daily basis.”
“There are 38 privately run children's charity homes, or
orphanages in the country, and the government operates eight
of its own.”
“ Zimbabwe's orphanages are over- spilling, and care givers
say they are failing to cope with the rising numbers of
children coming to their charity homes.” Read “Charity Homes
Worry About Rising Number of Orphans,” by Rangarirai Shoko.

- “Between 1994 and 1998, the number of orphans in Zimbabwe
more than doubled from 200,000 to 543,000, and in five years
the number is expected to reach 900,000.” (Unfortunately,
there is no room for these children.) -Read “Zimbabwe: Aids
