Zafu is 10 and Meserech is 17. Meserech lost her leg in a fire accident. They try to attend school, but Meserech has only made it to the 7th grade. They live on a food ration intended for one child -- but Zafu doesn't know that. Meserech is standing in the gap for Zafu, setting aside her own hunger to protect his childhood innocence. When we asked how he was doing, Zafu responded that everything was great, blissfully unaware of the sacrifice his big sister is making for him.
It is not always clear the extent to which someone's physical needs opens the door for spiritual needs to be met. But Meserech and Zafu's story makes it clear.
Supporting the Zeway Partnership will allow children like Meserech to spend less time searching for jobs and food, and more time reading God's word, attending church, and in discipleship. Additionally, Meserech will be able to complete her education and give to herself what she has worked so hard to provide for Zafu.
