NGOs in Zimbabwe

I decided to set up this blog after years of following the situation in Zimbabwe, and then writing an article about what non-governmental organisations are doing there to help Zimbabweans. This blog intends to give people who work with, in, and through NGOs in Zimbabwe the opportunity to tell their stories, about how they are dealing with the situation there on the ground.

This is not intended as a political platform, but rather as a way of sharing stories about the hard work being done by organisations whose aims are to make life better for the people they serve. There is already so much political commentary online and elsewhere about Zimbabwe, but rarely are real situations involving real people covered, unless they are explicitly political in nature. I understand that politics affects people, and some NGOs doing work in the country cannot help but involve themselves in political issues, but the aim of this content is to record what people are doing or have done to improve the lives of the people of Zimbabwe.

I hope that contributors will do their bit to cover this period of tribulation in Zimbabwe, which I also hope will soon fade into the annals of history. May better days come soon for Zimbabwe's people!
