St. Albert’s is located about 200 kms (120 mi) north of Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, on the edge of the Zambezi escarpment. (Zimbabwe -- Google maps) To reach St. Albert’s, one travels a two-lane highway from Harare to Mt. Darwin then a
one-lane road for 36 km (22 mi). The last 2 km (1.2 mi) into the township is
dirt road.

Patients come from the surrounding villages on the escarpment, the arid Zambezi Valley and neighboring Mozambique. The hospital serves a population of 120,000 that continues to grow. In the countryside surrounding St. Albert’s, most people live by subsistence farming. Maize is the chief crop and the staple food, as in all of Zimbabwe. Housing ranges from contemporary multi-roomed homes to one-room cinderblock homes with tin roofs, to round or square huts of mud and thatch.
