Zimbabweans need your help: please support these appeals
Terfund have launched a Zimbabwe appeal. Their website says: With so many lives at risk, please give whatever you can: £20 could provide essential food supplements for five malnourished children; £30 could provide a person with food for six months; £75 could provide two households with seeds and training to grow maize; £500 could buy a dairy cow (including feed and transport costs), to help a struggling family get back on their feet; £1,000 could provide clean, safe water for 500 people.

The Red Cross launched an appeal on the 11th December in the wake of the cholera crisis sweeping Zimbabwe. Money raised for the Red Cross will be used to supply community-based health, water, sanitation and hygiene projects, delivering aid and education to those most in need across the region.

Health Partner International of Canada (HPIC), together with World Vision and the pharmaceutical company Bayer will be airlifting a shipment containing medications to treat 20,000 people in Zimbabwe affected by the cholera epidemic that has hit the country.
HPIC have an additional allotment of antibiotics, enough to treat and save the lives of 68,000 people, available to them to send to Zimbabwe.
They need help to raise the funds that will enable them to send these medications to Zimbabwe.

Bloggers at 24.com have been appealing to fellow bloggers to donate food, clothing and toys to Save the Children in Pretoria. To date, the contributions have led to 2 loads already delivered to Musina and a boardroom filled with stuff waiting to go on the next delivery. A national Afrikaans newspaper has done an article on our appeal which has helped with getting donations in. We will continue with our drive for as long as there is a need.
