Access to Clean, Safe Water in Zimbabwe

The Gift of the Givers Foundation team has responded to an urgent call for clean #water in Hopley 📍. This community faces a severe challenge during the summer months, relying on inadequate water sources such as shallow wells, scarce boreholes, and the subpar waters of the Mukuvisi River.

Due to overpopulation, the existing boreholes are unable to meet the community's needs. Our team, along with Mr. Peter Mhosva, the dedicated Community Care Worker for Social Welfare Services, began working at 6 a.m. to address this critical issue. Mr. Mhosva expressed sincere gratitude on behalf of the community for the much-needed water supply.The residents of Hopley understand the importance of ongoing support for clean #water in preventing diseases like Cholera and Typhoid. Your continued support is crucial in helping us create a healthier and more resilient community in Hopley.We appreciate your dedication to our mission and look forward to your continued partnership in providing essential resources to those in need.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#GiftoftheGivers #makeadifference #forthegreatergood #WaterProvision #watertankers #boreholes #Zimbabwe ...

Our team successfully completed a mission on August 29th in Marondera. The objective was to provide the community with access to safe water and farming opportunities. We achieved this by installing a solar system for a borehole that we had drilled on June 12, 2023, fulfilling our commitment to the community.

By harnessing the power of the sun, we are able to empower lasting change in Marondera. This project not only ensures a consistent water supply but also opens up opportunities for agricultural development in the community. We are proud to be making a difference and working together towards a better future.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#makeadifference #forthegreatergood #WaterProvision #watertankers #boreholes #Zimbabwe ...

The Gift of the Givers Foundation team recently distributed 649 essential food and hygiene hampers to communities in the Mashonaland East Province. This distribution was made particularly heartwarming by the dedication and resilience of the beneficiaries.

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 ...

Gift of the Givers responded to an urgent request for a borehole from the St. Tabeth Children's Home in Gokwe📍. The children's home is currently facing severe #water crisis as they rely on a shallow, muddy well with a limited water supply.

After assessing the premises, we have identified two potential borehole sites. The first site has seven intersecting streams at various depths ranging from 21m to 68m. In order to meet the drilling requirements, we need to go 80m deep, with an additional 10–15 m needed for the last stream.The second location has four streams at depths ranging from 24m to 58m. Drilling at this site would require going down to a depth of 75 meters.However, due to the extreme dryness of the area and its rough landscape, finding a contractor who can successfully drill the borehole has been challenging. Another company attempted drilling up to 50 meters without success.Our aim is to provide a sustainable solution to the water crisis faced by St. Tabeth Children's Home. We are working diligently to find a contractor who is capable of drilling to the necessary depths and overcoming the challenges posed by the environment.By addressing this urgent borehole request, we hope to alleviate the water crisis and improve the living conditions for the children at St. Tabeth Children's Home.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. 💚 💚 💚To contribute towards our interventions, visit:🌐: www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#makeadifference #forthegreatergood #WaterProvision #watertankers #boreholes #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 ...

As part of our #WaterProvision initiatives, Gift of the Givers responded to an urgent call for a borehole in Marondera📍, a town in Mashonaland East. On arrival, our team surveyed the area to find the best place to drill a borehole. #borehole siting is the process of carefully evaluating various factors to determine the perfect location to access underground water. Through this process, our team can make an informed decision about where to drill, ensuring that people have reliable access to clean water for the long term. This important process helps to tackle water scarcity, improve water security and support vital sectors such as agriculture, businesses and households.

Gift of the Givers received a request from the Crenham farming community and nine other nearby farms in Mashonaland Central Province 📍 for a borehole. Due to the lack of accessible clean #water, many residents were forced to undertake long journeys to get water. The completion of this borehole will allow approximately 600 families to access clean water. The residents of the rural community were very grateful for the drilling and installation process of the borehole. Once this project has been completed, it will significantly improve this community's access to clean and safe drinking water.
