Fundraising to support mental health in Zimbabwe during Covid-19 Crisis

Tirivanhu Community Mental Health Home, Tariro Mental Health Home and Beatrice Road Mental Health Home

People living with mental illness in Zimbabwe are particularly affected by economic challenges, trauma, domestic violence and disturbing levels of poverty. Their life expectancy is much lower than the wider population. They are also at greater risk of exposure to infectious diseases such as COVID-19

We are raising money to support three community mental health homes  in Zimbabwe that support 50 residents. Most residents are vulnerable. Many are recovering from schizophrenia, bi-polar effective disorder, depression, anxiety, gender violence, epilepsy, HIV, substance misuse and other disabilities.

Many have been discharged from main mental health institutions. They would otherwise be homeless if they did not have support from these community mental health homes.
They have with little access to food and clean water. They need to buy meilie meal, rice, vegetables, sugar, beans, salt, cooking oil, masks and soap to ensure good hygiene at this time of COVID19

We are appealing for you to find it in your hearts to give. Every little helps. 
Once groceries are bought we can produce receipts to our donors and evidence that your money has made a real difference. 
As a Zimbabwean diaspora group, we recognize the value of good governance and public health impact.

We seek to support those most in need and those who are most vulnerable.

Thank you for your support
