Build 2 Classrooms for 400 Children in Zimbabwe
Organization information
Community Foundation for the Western Region of Zimbabwe
Location: Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Summary
400 children in the marginalized Matabeleland rural areas of Zimbabwe walk 20 kilometers to and fro to the nearest high school. As a result of the inevitable exhaustion, their education suffers tremendously and the dropout rate is very high. The vulnerable children also get raped along the way and sometimes submit to forced sex with motorists who pretend to offer free rides. HIV infections and teenage pregnancy is high. Construction of the school nearby will ease the burden on these children.
