I've raised £5000 to give children and elderly adults in Chitungwiza a nutritious meal every day, and to help turn Kuchengetana into a sustainable charity

At the start of the pandemic Sam Murozoki started feeding the children on her street. Like millions of Zimbabweans, their parents were already struggling to put food on the table, then lockdown pushed them further into hunger.
The word got out. Sam is now serving thousands of meals every single day from her make-shift kitchen. It costs her just over USD200 per day with a team who work from 4am to 9pm. Fundraising is a daily battle. Volunteers are tired, their numbers are dwindling.
The money we raise will help Sam invest in equipment that will reduce her daily running costs: gas instead of firewood, proper roofing, better storage for bulk food orders, and income-generating schemes like pig-farming and soap production, which also create desperately-needed jobs.
Because the need isn’t going away….
Even before COVID Zimbabwe was facing severe food shortages and a devastating economic crisis. Communities like Chitungwiza have no safety net, except for kind neighbours like Sam.
Let’s help her keep everyone going.
