Our Story
Rory and Judy Ervine joined Eden Children’s Village in 2004 after running a successful family farm for many years. Their desire was to serve in an area of need at Eden and in the community. As a state registered nurse and registered traditional healer, Judy was highly sought after for her medical expertise, and she began treating children under a tree in the village!
But because of the financial sacrifices of our generous donors, Eden Herbal Medical Clinic opened in 2005! The clinic opened with one examination room—but today, the clinic has expanded to two exam rooms, wound care, HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, herbal dispensary, and a malnutrition program.
The Clinic is operated by 23 qualified staff who serve thousands of men, women, and children in the Doma region—completely free of charge! Eden Herbal Medical Clinic exists to serve the children of Eden Children’s Village, the staff, and surrounding Doma area to the glory of God in Jesus’ name.

" I was so impressed with Eden during my recent visit. The children receive amazing care, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and the clinic is truly a place of healing. God is using them as a light in Zimbabwe! "

WHAT WE DO
|
General Health Consultation
Most of our patients come for help with basic, common maladies like flu, diharrea, small abraisions and headaches. We treat everyone indiscriminantly but require that each individual take off the traditional protective strings, beads or tokens, expressing that we treat in Jesus’ name and He doesn’t require those items be worn or trusted in. |
|
Wound and Burn Care
We see many individuals who have experienced significant traumatic injuries in the context of our rural farming community. Because of their limited financial resources, many patients could not seek treatment in a traditional clinic and arrive at the clinic suffering from extensive damage and dangerous infections. By God’s grace, clinic staff successfully treats countless severe wounds and burns without loss of life to our patients. |
|
Health Education
A considerable number of illnesses suffered in the context of this rural community are entirely preventable—through education and basic medication. Eden Herbal Medical Clinic serves as an educational facility committed to helping this community understand the components of overall health. It is our goal to educate and equip individuals with the ability to better care for themselves and their families—thus avoiding preventable illnesses. |
TESTIMONY
Sabora Manyara, one of our highly skilled builders, faced a perilous situation when he was attacked by a crocodile. The miraculous survival of this harrowing encounter stands as a testament to the grace of God.
While innocently fishing, Sabora was suddenly ambushed by a crocodile that leaped onto him, dragging him into the dam. Submerged underwater, the crocodile clamped onto him, attempting to suffocate him. In a twist of fate, Sabora managed to slip away, but not without the crocodile seizing his hand. A desperate struggle for survival ensued, leading to the loss of half of Sabora's arm as the crocodile rolled in the water. Against all odds, with the relentless crocodile in pursuit, Sabora miraculously escaped this perilous situation, highlighting the divine intervention that guided him through this unimaginable ordeal.
Even after this terrifying event, the struggle for Sabora's life persisted, as he began losing a significant amount of blood. He managed to call his brother, who promptly brought him to our clinic. Thanks to the swift response of our medical team, he was transported to a hospital in Harare, over 200km away, to receive treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment there proved insufficient, resulting in infection and the loss of another part of his arm. Eventually, Sabora returned to Eden Clinic, where he began a comprehensive treatment plan that led to his full recovery. This testimony, among others, serves as compelling evidence of the indispensable role Eden Clinic plays in our community.
