We have made two drought emergency food deliveries of staple foods to the Zambezi Farm community; to 14 families in May, and to 33 families in June. The July delivery will increase to cover 40 families.

We would like to take full advantage of GlobalGiving’s lucrative matching offers on July Bonus Day this coming Wednesday, 7/10/24.

Your donations, large and small, recent and past, have made it possible for this community to survive the current drought crisis. Thank you!
