This is why Save the Children is assisting smaller holder farmers in Beitbridge and Matobo districts of Zimbabwe to tackle food insecurity in the face of climate change through providing them with drought tolerant seed crops suitable for their areas and knowledge on climate smart farming. All these efforts are to ensure that children have enough healthy food to eat.
