Chiyedza is a rabbit owner.  In fact, she owns a few rabbits, thanks to the fact that rabbits multiply like...well, rabbits. 

Chiyedza is part of a family in Coronation in Zimbabwe and she is cared for by Spiwe along with Jefta, Fadzai and
Nathan. Spiwe and the children are very happy with the rabbit project. Spiwe is looking forward to having a sustainable life with her family through the project. She is using the money from the project to pay school fees and buy food. She is very grateful with the assistance she received.

Spiwe wants to use rabbit manure in her field to improve the soil fertility, although this season she is not expecting to get anything from her fields due to the effects of climate change and the lack of rain.

Spiwe’s house was destroyed by a cyclone which hit southern parts of Zimbabwe this year. Right now she and the children are living in one of the remaining huts. “My house was destroyed by the cyclone but now God has remembered me through AFCA. The other thing I want is to be a good farmer.”

Spiwe and her children are thankful for the rabbit project. They are hopeful for a complete change in their lives.  And, little Chiyedza is thrilled to hold the bunnies and to see them grow.  She can't wait to have a large warren!
