Life in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe, known officially as the Republic of Zimbabwe, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, situated between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers. It is bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique.
Zimbabwe is currently ranked 146 out of 189 countries and territories in the Human Development Index (HDI). It is estimated that 3.7 million people don’t have enough food to eat, and more than a third live below the International Poverty Line ($2.15 USD per day).
Mary's Meals in Zimbabwe
Mary’s Meals has been serving school meals in Zimbabwe since 2018. We work in partnership with Mavambo Orphan Care and ORAP (The Organisation of Rural Associations for Progress).
Our meals are delivered to children living in the Harare and Mashonaland East Provinces. We also reach children in Umguza District in the southern part of Matabeleland North Province.
Thanks to the support of our two local partners, we are currently reaching more than 100,000 children with a much-needed daily meal in their place of education.
