Plan Zimbabwe
Plan has been operating in Zimbabwe since 1986, helping poor children to access their rights to quality education, food, health services and safe water.
One of the key activities in Zimbabwe over the past decade has been to help address the food shortage that is affecting almost half of the country's 13,000,000 population.
We have been providing emergency food relief to children and families affected by the shortage, which has been partly due to low rainfall leading to a succession of poor harvests.
Case study
Many young people live in circumstances where disadvantage places them at risk. Informative, entertaining and educative sports events help create awareness on the socio-economic challenges they are pre-disposed to.
Where we work
Our programmes directly benefit 50,000 children and indirectly benefit about 250,000 children in Zimbabwe.
Plan's core areas of activity include:
- emergency food aid and supplementary feeding
- protecting children from all forms of violence
- promoting good health practices, and safe, sanitary environment
- access to education.
