A statement issued by Save the Children calling on the government of Zimbabwe to prioritise children in the overall Covid-19 response.

For years, pupils at Nsungwale primary schools had used the makeshift structure as their classroom. Well, it protected them from the sun but one can only guess what happened when it rained or got too cold as the structure had open areas.

In the after-math of the Cyclone Idai disaster which hit Chimanimani and Chipinge districts of Zimbabwe, Save the Children saw it fit to assist areas affected through the supporting placement of District Nutrition Coordinators (DNC) at health facilities. The Nutrition Coordinators are workingwith communities in fighting malnutrition thorough supporting Village Health Workers, active screening for Malnutrition, conducting counselling sessions and facilitating trainings on prevention of Malnutrition.

Recently, Save the Children Zimbabwe was joined by its donors, partners, civic society organisations, government representatives, and the media in celebrating 100 years of making a difference in children’s lives. The centenary celebrations were held in Harare.
