Zimbabwe Emergency Appeal

Zimbabwe is in crisis. 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 harvest failures mean many will still be going hungry.

Zimbabwe's troubles are compounded by political uncertainty linked to the presidential elections which has brought widespread violence and intimidation.

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.

Also for an insider's view, read our new Zimbabwe Diary.
