The Catholic Development Commission (CADEC), Masvingo, works in some of the worst-affected parts of Zimbabwe to ease the food crisis for more than 377,000 people, including under-fives, school children, breast-feeding mothers and pregnant and elderly women.

In co-operation with local authorities, CADEC is transporting food and monitoring the nutritional health of vulnerable communities.
