Cylone Idai left 130 000 Zimbabwean children traumatized in 2019. The Zimbabwe Rural Schools Library Trust wants to send books to heal them

Waikato

UNICEF says approximately 130 000 Zimbabwean children were traumatized by Cyclone Idai which hit parts of Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi in March 2019. Classrooms and books were destroyed at more than 144 schools, leaving the children with no reading material.

Books can help heal their Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders. The Zimbabwe Rural Schools Library Trust would like to ship a container of books from New Zealand to psychologically heal these children, and every $ counts.
