We are therefore grateful that our efforts, such as the promotion of autonomous farming opportunities, can contribute directly to improving living conditions on the ground. Our aim is to provide people with the necessary resources and skills to become independent of external sources of aid and instead help them to help themselves. By empowering local communities and promoting sustainable practices, we help people to become self-sufficient and resilient to the effects of inflation in the long term. Our collective efforts are crucial to bringing about lasting positive change for the people of the country.<\/p>\n<p>We continue to work in co-operation with Plan International and Stiftung Hilfe mit Plan in Zimbabwe at three locations in rural regions.
