Malnutrition, poverty, chronic unemployment, hyper-inflation, political repression, human rights abuses – a sea of suffering is engulfing the people of Zimbabwe.
About a third of the 13 million population is struggling to feed itself, hampered by bad harvests and ineffective government.
Last year Margaret and her grandchildren were facing starvation. Now money raised through Tearfund's Zimbabwe appeal has helped feed her and the family.
Food aid is being provided but hopes that the coming harvest would be good have been undermined by extensive recent flooding.
Maize meal, a basic staple of the Zimbabwe diet, is in desperately short supply. Prices have rocketed as inflation has topped 100,000 per cent.
Tearfund is working with Zimbabwe’s churches to reach the vulnerable – children, the elderly and widows – so you can be sure your help goes straight to those who need it most.
Your money is making a difference. Please give whatever you can and pray today.
