Children like these will benefit from IRD programs in Zimbabwe

During nearly a decade of political turmoil, Zimbabwe’s people have endured rapidly declining standards of living and public services. Once considered a breadbasket for Southern Africa, over 1.5 million of its 11 million people will require food assistance in the 2009-2010 “hunger” season. As the water supply and sanitation infrastructure degraded, a cholera epidemic killed over 4,000 people between August 2008 and July 2009. Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans have left the country since 2000, in search of a better life, many of them the educated elite. In 2009, IRD began work in Zimbabwe to expand agricultural opportunities and bring clean water to schools.
