CARE began working in Zimbabwe in 1992 in response to severe regional drought and has since expanded programming to address longer-term development issues. Currently, an estimated 5.8 million people are facing severe food insecurity in Zimbabwe as a result of the human-made climate crisis. Investing in water infrastructure is critical for tackling the drought that is gripping large swaths of the country and the wider region. CARE is focused on providing easy access to water for drinking and irrigation to stop the spread of disease and to prevent people – most of whom are women and girls – from walking miles to and from water sources every single day. Through strategic local partnerships, CARE is implementing both short-term and long-term programming to empower Zimbabwe’s vulnerable households to meet their basic needs through sustainable livelihoods. To that end, CARE’s programming in Zimbabwe is focused on the following areas: food and nutrition security, climate resilient livelihoods, economic development, education, and water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Thembelani, a 45-year-old lead farmer from Malilawunda Village, Tsholotsho is making a big difference fighting #climatechange. With support from the Sustainable Roots Programme, a project led by CARE Zimbabwe in partnership with Nutrition Action Zimbabwe and Organisation of Rural Associations for Progress (ORAP) she is learning and showcasing better farming techniques, like growing crops naturally and using eco-friendly methods.

Meet Mr. Gosha, a dedicated educator participating in the Project Management Institute funded project, "Leading and Learning with Project Management," alongside 40 Guiding and Counselling teachers and school heads. He is gaining invaluable insights into project management and learner-centered approaches. Mr. Gosha is thrilled about how the Project Management Institute empowers students to develop entrepreneurial skills through Income Generating Activities (IGAs). By infusing project management training into extracurricular activities, students can enroll in school-based clubs and gain hands-on experience. Thanks to Project Management Institute, teachers are mastering the art of tracking project progress and defining roles. Students are not just learning—they're preparing for real-life challenges! This project-based learning approach fosters teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity, making education engaging and impactful. 🌍✨ #ProjectManagement #Education #Empowerment #Zimbabwe
This week, we're in Mutare Rural District, Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe, distributing food to households devastated by the El Niño-induced #drought. The impact is heartbreaking—families have been forced to sell productive assets just to meet their immediate food needs. With the support of EU in Emergencies, we're helping families access #food and recover from the effects of El Niño. Ephraige Makoero from Ward 8, who had to sell 23 of his 36 goats, is grateful for the assistance right in his community. He shared his story: "We sold almost all of our goats to buy mealie meal and other essentials to feed our family because last season we harvested nearly nothing due to poor rainfall. We are relieved that we can eat enough until we harvest what we planted this season." Nutrition Action Zimbabwe

At CARE, our mission is to empower communities to create sustainable and transformative solutions that uplift their societies. Recently, we held a productive meeting with Dr. Mavis Sibanda, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, and Small and Medium Enterprise Development. During our discussion, we explored the ministry's priorities for 2025 and exchanged valuable ideas aimed at developing strategies to enhance our collaborative efforts, particularly in supporting #women and #girls. We believe that by integrating community insights and aligning our initiatives with the Ministry's goals, we can create impactful programs that address the unique challenges faced by communities, giving everyone a chance to thrive. #empowerment #strategy Walter Mwasaa Rumbie Moyo Angeline Zawi Charlene Pellsah Ambali
🌾 Meet the Injabulo #women entrepreneurs of rural Lupane! With a $1,500 loan t, they invested in a drip irrigation system to tackle the El Niño drought. Now, they are diversifying their income by turning fresh produce into sauces and dried foods, supplying local schools and restaurants. Thanks to generous funding from Ecobank Transnational Incorporated Zimbabwe, the Enhancing Women’s Economic Empowerment (EWEE) project, implemented by CARE Zimbabwe in partnership with Hand in Hand Zimbabwe, is helping these women boost their businesses, increase savings, and improve their livelihoods. 💪 This initiative supports 67 groups with 462 women and 87 men, offering accessible loans of $700 to $1,500—with no collateral required. So far, the groups have accessed a total of $66,825 in loans, along with financial literacy training, banking services and digital payments. This project has also empowered individual women while fostering leadership and community engagement, paving the way for sustainable economic growth! 🌟 #EmpowerWomen #FinancialInclusion #EWEE
