Washington — Agnes Kwenda wants to teach young mothers in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, how to become self-reliant. She says the skills she learned at St. John's Shelter Program for Women and Children in Sacramento, California, will help her do that.

"We're going to do all we can to make a difference," said Kwenda, who started the Precious Life Foundation in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second-largest city. The group she funds with her husband and community donors cares for homeless teenage mothers and their children, many iof whom have nowhere else to stay. She said community leaders are needed to step in to motivate others to provide services that are not being provided by governments.
