January 15, 2008
Torrential rains that continue to pound Zimbabwe have left seven people dead and over 8,300 people displaced. Families have lost homes, toilets, boreholes and fields. One of the biggest concerns, in a country already beset by severe food shortages, is damage to crops.
Plan is already implementing a World Food Programme food aid program in affected districts where Plan works, including the Chipinge and Chiredzi program units, as well as actively participating in the humanitarian response coalition of relief agencies chaired by the United Nation’s Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Your donation to Plan’s Disaster Fund will help provide urgently-needed emergency assistance to families affected by disasters and crisis, such as the flooding in Zimbabwe.
Families in Plan and non-Plan areas of Zimbabwe urgently need food, clothing, blankets, mosquito nets, cooking utensils and clean water. Families that have had their fields and crops destroyed, intensifying an already present food shortage crisis, also need seeds for planting.
No Plan staff, sponsored children or family members have been injured due to the flooding.
