Zimbabwe & Region Appeal

Donate now

Help us provide emergency health and hygiene relief for vulnerable people in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region.

A severe cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region, including South Africa, Angola and Mozambique, has claimed more than 3,100 lives and affected more than 60,400 people.

The situation is critical. Many people are struggling to get clean water and enough food.

Zimbabwe faces a severe shortage of health professionals, hospitals are without necessary equipment and medication, and water and sanitation systems are at breaking point.

This is how your donation could help:

Ethiopian Red Cross volunteer helps during a food distribution

£5 could buy 20 bars of soap to be distributed by Red Cross volunteers and staff

Child receiving polio vaccine. Southern Darfur, near Gereida, displaced persons camp.

£30 could buy 100 life saving oral rehydration sachets

£50 could buy 300 sachets of insecticide to help stop the spread disease

Questions about your donation?

The Red Cross is already on the ground distributing clean water and food and focusing on public education. Cholera is a treatable and curable disease, but people need to know the simple steps they can take to minimise or even eliminate its risks.

Please give whatever you can today to support the appeal. Your donation could save a life.
