Introduction
For years, Zimbabwe has been devastated by political instability, economic crises, drought, high unemployment and the spread of HIV. Our project, lying far away from the political hub of the country, has been particularly hard hit. Our community schools presently have 400-day scholars, most do not have access to food and come to school hungry. Studies show that students are not able to learn when hungry and therefore can't learn and become ambassadors to break the poverty cycle.
Report
So far this year we have been giving food parcels back to day scholars as the school closed again for lockdown. The cost of basic essential items have gone through the roof and sadly there has been no support from the government, so families are struggling even more. School is looking to re-open in March.
