Quality education depends on elements such as infrastructure, qualified staff, essential materials and a conducive learning environment. Those living in impoverished areas often bear the burden of inadequate public schools, resulting in unfinished educations and perpetuating cycles of poverty.

We understand the deep desire for knowledge, which is why we're committed to raising the standard of education through targeted school infrastructure projects. Thanks to our donors, we've been able to make meaningful progress for students, especially in remote communities. By addressing these educational gaps, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and bring about transformative change.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#GiftoftheGivers #makeadifference #forthegreatergood #HungerAlleviation #humandevelopment #WaterProvision #DisasterResponse #healthcare #education #31YearsofServingHumanity #Zimbabwe ...

#throwback to #31years of #ServingHumanity - #RepublicOfCongo

In 2012, an accidental explosion occurred at an arms depot in Brazzaville, caused by a short circuit igniting a store of tank shells. This incident led to 250 fatalities, around 2,315 injuries, and 13,800 people left homeless. The explosion also triggered a cholera outbreak due to unsanitary conditions.The Gift of the Givers organization responded in two phases. Initially, we deployed a search and rescue team with medical assistance and distributed emergency supplies worth R8 million, including tents, food, clothing, and hygiene items. In the second phase, supported by the South African Department of International Relations and Co-operation, we transported 70 tons of aid, including medical supplies, surgical equipment, and relief items. Our 20-members medical team provided critical care and trauma counseling for survivors.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#GiftoftheGivers #makeadifference #forthegreatergood #HungerAlleviation #humandevelopment #WaterProvision #DisasterResponse #healthcare #education #31YearsofServingHumanity #Zimbabwe ...

Macheke, a town in Mashonaland East Province 📍, relies heavily on roadside vending as its main economic activity. However, the mixed crops of neighbouring fields are seasonal due to rainwater irrigation, creating a challenging waiting period for fresh produce and affecting the majority of residents' ability to feed their families.

In response to this urgent need, Gift of the Givers distributed #foodparcels to 466 families from seven villages in Macheke. The recipients expressed their heartfelt gratitude for this wonderful donation, which provided essential support during the waiting period.To improve the lives of the most vulnerable, we will continue to prioritise💚 #DisasterResponse, #HungerAlleviation, #healthcare, #education, #WaterProvision and #humandevelopment.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#GiftoftheGivers #makeadifference #forthegreatergood #HungerAlleviation #foodparcels #fooddistribution #hygienepacks #Zimbabwe ...
