Emergency Funds for Zimbabwe

To maximise our Emergency Fund for Zimbabwe we took part in the Big Give Double Your Donation initiative and raised £20,291 - thank you to everyone who donated to this special appeal.

All funds raised by this appeal will help Zimbabwean prisoners of conscience and their families. We have produced a special newsletter showing some harrowing images that were taken for us by a senior staff photographer for Getty Images. He travelled incognito to Zimbabwe earlier this year to document some of the prisoners of conscience and their families whom we have been helping. The level of violence that he has witnessed is heartbreaking.

Despite losing the first round of elections, and being uncontested in the second round due the excessive violence being meted against his own people, Robert Mugabe continues to resist international pressure to share power appropriately with the opposition party.

As the situation worsens, even more Zimbabweans at home and in exile will need our help. To meet this demand, we are taking part in the Big Give Double Your Donation initiative to raise funds for the Emergency Fund for Zimbabwe.

Your donation will provide medical treatment, money to buy daily necessities for those left without a breadwinner, the means to escape for those who must, and sustenance to those who already have. Time is not on our side. Please give all you can now to help those who are at grave risk in Zimbabwe.
