The global food crisis associated with the war in Ukraine is already affecting food security in Africa with negative impacts on low-income households in both rural and urban areas. In Zimbabwe, maize meal and bread prices increased by approximately 50 and 30 percent, respectively, between March and April. Vulnerable households such as in Mahenye community will therefore have limited access to such items and their reliance on income generating and food providing activities such as the nutrition gardens is becoming more and more crucial. Added to that is the fact that rainfall this year came too late to have a significant impact on crops.
More than ever do the women of Mahenye community need your support for maintaining their nutrition gardens. Whether you choose to support nutrition garden maintenance costs for one person or fo one household, you can make a difference!
