COPING WITH DROUGHT IN ZAMBIA: A STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL

Date added: 15.03.2024

Zambia is facing a disastrous crop shortage due to drought. The recent rainfall has been insufficient to salvage the crops. The authorities are already talking about a 30% increase in electricity costs, which will inevitably lead to higher food prices. It was recently when persistent heavy rains and flooding led to a cholera epidemic in the country. Today, the scarcity of water poses a risk of another tragedy.

The government has announced anticipated power shortages of up to 8 hours a day. In Kasisi, we cannot afford to go without electricity for most of the day. Electricity is essential not just for cooking meals for 250 children but also for their education and access to medical facilities.

We have generators that can save us from these predicaments, but powering even just the critical parts of the home with them costs a fortune. We need fuel. More and more often, it represents health, safety, and fed, happy children. The impacts of the drought will be felt imminently, so we are asking for your support today. Visit our store, help us buy more fuel, because with your support, we won’t have to deny our kids anything. We also ask you to help replenish the pantry supplies to prevent store price hikes from ruining us.

We are here to ensure that no one in Kasisi lacks anything. This is the moment when we must join forces and say: “We’re here! You can sleep peacefully.”

Passport to the Future – Donate a School Starter Kit

A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
