Unpredictable rainfall patterns as a result of climate change have resulted in very low agricultural output in rural Zimbabwe, leaving many families unable to provide adequate food and nutrition for their families. Poor agricultural yields have a negative effect on children’s attendance in school and increases the school dropout rates. Our response efforts focuses on creating resilient communities through effective agricultural practices and encouraging diversification of livelihoods. We provide financial support to communal farmers, the bulk of which are women, to promote food security and nutrition within households (crops and livestock).
We also educate farmers on climate change, and encourages sustainable utilization of natural resources.
