Please spare a moment to read this – for the price of a cup of coffee you can feed a school child in rural Zimbabwe for a whole month.  The 2018/19 rainfall in Zimbabwe was among the worst on record and the country is facing its most devastating drought in 40 years.  Imvelo tries to help alleviate this and is currently feeding 2,660 school children every day at 11 rural schools.  This usually lasts from May to August but this year will be longer.  We are looking at providing 425,600 school meals in 2019.  Often the meal provided is the only meal of the day. Without it, they simply would not have the energy to walk to school and will not come.  Here is a link to some further information about the Hwange School Lunch fund raiser, it costs $0.20 per meal so a small amount can make a big difference and all funds go directly to providing the food; Imvelo provides all the logistics for free.     DONATE NOW
