Cyclone Idai Follow Up

Our Crisis Response Team deployed to Chimanimani, Zimbabwe in March 2019 following Cyclone Idai. Whilst there, the team identified children who had been orphaned by the disaster. Some of them attended Ngangu Primary School and some Chimanimani Secondary School, which is next door.

So many gorgeous blankets are made lovingly by generous folk around the UK (and even further afield).

This young man sadly lost his parents during the horrific Cyclone Idai. On top of this devastation, he almost lost his eye.

Cyclone Idai Response Update

Times like this are exactly when children are known to be at the highest risk of trafficking and our Crisis Response mandate is to find children who have been orphaned and help to keep them safe. The next stage is to connect them to a long-term care structure and where this is NOT possible, we promise to create a care structure for them - so that they can be cared for.
