Zimbabwe
Mercy Corps has worked in Zimbabwe since 2003, through increasing access to clean water, strengthening economic resilience, promoting peacebuilding, and emergency support in the wake of natural disasters. In 2025, Mercy Corps reached nearly 928,000 people across the country.
The context
Zimbabwe struggles with severe unemployment, diminishing access to health and education services and a steady decline in purchasing power. Once the breadbasket of southern Africa, it is now food-insecure and lacks the critical infrastructure and support mechanisms needed to help its most vulnerable citizens and stimulate economic growth.
The context
- Agriculture & Food: Reducing dependence on food aid by providing training, lowering barriers to credit, and supporting market-oriented community development approaches.
- Children & Youth: Supporting children with disabilities and reducing barriers to their participation in mainstream economic activities.
- Innovations: Using mobile technology to provide farmers with agronomic extension information, financial and market services.
- Water: Improving access to quality drinking water and sanitation services and environmental hygiene at community and household levels.
