Your Charity Counts with Penny Appeal

Zimbabwe is facing a pressing humanitarian situation that has not garnered the attention it needs. Penny Appeal Canada has been active on the ground in Zimbabwe through our work on the ground and partnerships with local organisations.

The Humanitarian Situation in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s humanitarian crisis is rooted in a combination of factors, including economic instability, political turmoil, and environmental challenges. 2.6 million people are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance. This includes 1.7 million children.

Climate Change in Zimbabwe

Natural disasters, including floods and droughts in the region have been amplified by El-Niño. Inducing far more severe drought conditions, Zimbabwe has been experiencing abnormally high and historic dry seasons, coupled with high temperatures. Other parts of the country have experienced high rainfall and flooding, destroying vital infrastructure and wiping out crops, destroying livestock, and damaging farm land.

Water Insecurity and the Spread of Disease

The El-Niño cycle has significantly contributed to the lack of available clean water in the country. Significant decrease in rainfall, coupled with poor water and sanitation infrastructure has contributed to a widespread outbreak of disease. Cholera, measles and diarrhoea, COVID-19 have had a dire effect on the population, particularly in children under the age of 5. An overburdened and under funded healthcare system has not been able to cope with the large amount of sickness entering its doors. More than 860,000 people in Zimbabwe do not have access to safe drinking water. 17% of households are forced to fetch water more than 1 km away from their homes.

Food Security Concerns

The climate induced challenges have resulted in people all across the country facing food scarcity. With many failed harvests and total crop failures from drought or flooding, have significantly raised the prices of food and other commodities, leaving many families unable to provide adequate levels of nutrition to their diets. More than 18,000 children in Zimbabwe are experiencing severe wasting and require treatment.
