Hunger & Livelihoods

Thanks to Save the Children’s poultry distribution initiative, Pauline is now a proud poultry owner. She received twenty Sasso chickens- a dual-purpose chicken breed that can be kept for both meat and eggs.

As the world grapples with the impacts of climate change and seeks sustainable solutions to mitigating them, Save the Children in partnership with ICRISAT is scaling up climate smart agriculture in Matobo and Beitbridge districts located in the driest southern regions of Zimbabwe. The initiative is being implemented under the Stepping-up Post-Emergency Recovery and Resilience to Empower Vulnerable Communities in Zimbabwe (SUPER-EVC) project funded by European Union.

Save the Children recently distributed poultry and goats to households in Beitbridge and Matobo districts in an effort to empower vulnerable families and make it possible for them to generate income through business-focused projects.

A new fruit and vegetable market is under construction at Guzha Growth point in Manyame district (Seke), much to the delight of many farmers and vendors. The huge modern market is being constructed through funding from Save the Children and the European Union.

Wendy’s family is among 23715 vulnerable and food insecure families benefiting from ECHO funded Safe Multipurpose Assistance to Communities in Crises project which is being implemented by Save the Children and International Rescue Committee in five districts of Zimbabwe. Every month, they receive USD65 which enables them to buy basic food commodities.
