The situation in Zimbabwe is more desperate now than it was when we first started walking thirteen years ago. We simply cant afford not to walk; the hungry and helpless in Zimbabwe rely on ZANE to survive. Life in Zimbabwe is a devastating cycle of fighting for survival. With elections looming next year, the fight is likely to get harder. So we walk to put food in the cupboards of impoverished pensioners; to provide them with basic medication for hypertension, diabetes, asthma; we walk to show them that they have not been forgotten.
