There is a massive food shortage in Zimbabwe: two years of poor harvests and floods. And, inflation has reached 231 million percent, preventing many Zimbabweans from buying food. The World Food Program (WFP) estimates 45% of the population is malnourished and in desperate need of food. But, funding shortfalls has forced rationing of stockpiles and there is no food for January or February.
Zimbabwe needs your help. Last December, we together helped save one boy’s life. This December, help us provide urgently needed emergency food and nutrition relief. We have identified three organizations that are working on the ground now to supply much needed nutrition and food aid.
Each of these organizations provides food and nutrition relief for one person for less than one dollar per day. We are excited to announce that The Dispatch Foundation will match each dollar received, doubling the impact of your gift. Make a donation today.
Elias Fund and the Elias Fund Trust (Southwest)
The program is 3 years old, created and directed by a native Zimbabwean and provides food assistance to families whose head of household is blind.
Forgotten Voices (Southeast)
The organization provides emergency food relief to rural orphans and vulnerable children.
UNICEF (Countrywide)
UNICEF coordinates emergency relief for children under age 18 and support 70 therapeutic feeding centers.
Share your passions and help us spread the word. Together, our voices will make a statement.
