About us
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.

Today marked the second day of the transformative Inaugural Zimbabwe High-Level Women in Leadership Summit! 🌍 Under the powerful theme "Accelerating Gender Parity through Collective Action: Strengthening Accountability and Solidarity to Transform Policies into Tangible Progress", this summit ignited a revolution for women's empowerment in Zimbabwe. Minister of Women Affairs Senator Monica Mutsvangwa just submitted a game-changing communique to Vice-President Kembo Mohadi, highlighting Zimbabwe's impressive progress in achieving gender parity - ranking in the top 15 countries in Africa! 🙌 However, the communique also boldly addressed the critical challenges still facing women, including underrepresentation in leadership, limited access to finance and resources, and the scourge of gender-based violence. The communique put forth bold recommendations to drive real change, including: 🗒 Expediting the landmark Gender Equality Law to align with the constitution 🗒 Building the capacity of aspiring female leaders 🗒 Strengthening market access, 🗒 Increasing government funding to prevent and respond to GBV and 🗒 Engaging men in both the public and private sector to promote gender equality. CARE Zimbabwe has pledged its full commitment to supporting the Ministry of Women Affairs in bringing these transformative recommendations to life! 💪 This summit is a watershed moment for Zimbabwe's women - let's amplify their voices and demand the change they deserve! #WomenLeaders #GenderEquality #zimbabwesummit

We are currently participating in the Regional Dialogue for Non-State Actors on the SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP 2020-2030) ahead of the 44th SADC Head of States and Government summit. As part of a coalition of 16 civil society organizations, we're tracking the implementation of the RISDP 2020-2030. This dialogue provides a crucial platform for non-state actors to assess progress on the RISDP's goals across key areas like health, agriculture, education, gender, youth, and climate change - with a focus on 5 countries (Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe). The insights from this process will inform the communique that will shape discussions at the upcoming 44th SADC Head of States and Government Summit. Excited to share the key takeaways from our collaborative monitoring efforts soon.

During a recent #WorldBreastfeedingWeek commemoration in Mutare Rural District, Village Health Workers performed a song emphasizing that breast milk should be exclusively provided to the child it was intended for. Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and optimal early childhood development. 👉 "Musape mukaka kunana baba" 👉 "Mothers should not give breast milk to their husbands." #WBW2024

#worldbreastfeedingweek2024 Protecting, supporting, and promoting breastfeeding addresses inequalities that stand in the way of sustainable development. Investing to address these inequalities is vital as breastfeeding can act as an equalizer in our society. Efforts must be made to ensure everyone, especially the vulnerable, have access to breastfeeding support and opportunities. Happy World Breastfeeding Week, August 1-7, 2024 “Closing the gap: breastfeeding support for all” #worldbreastfeedingweek2024 #WBW2024 #USAID USAID Takunda
