“This is a response to
the increased vulnerability of orphans, widows, the disabled and the elderly as
a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. People
in Chivi are particularly vulnerable because most of them did not get a good
harvest due to the poor rains received this farming season,” said Zivhu.

He urged people should
be there for each other at times of great crisis as this, saying there was no
comfort to be drawn from watching people suffer the indignities of extreme destitution.

“We cannot expect
government to do everything on its own because the money available is not
enough. Government is already doing a lot of things to fight the double tragedy
of hunger and Covid-19 so let us all be good citizens and care for each other,”
said Zivhu.

said Zivhu.
He also said his
efforts are primarily focused on assisting orphans, widows and the elderly but
that could be expanded to include other vulnerable people if more resources
become available.
