In Zimbabwe, decreased rainfall, poor harvests, reduced opportunities to earn an income due to COVID-19 restrictions and high food prices are adding up to acute food insecurity in 35% of the population.
In response, PWRDF is currently supporting an emergency food relief project, starting January 25 running through to the end of March. Working with DanChurchAid Zimbabwe (DCA), PWRDF was able to leverage $161,554 from its equity in the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and receive a match from the Government of Canada. The total project budgeted is $843,948.
