The wake of the Global COVID-19 outbreak has & continues to cause widespread devastation. Zimbabwe has not been spared from the COVID-19 pandemic with our reported cases steadily growing each day.
Who are we?
I Am For Bulawayo - Fighting COVID-19 is a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together medical professionals, the business community, NGOs, churches, academic institutions, the Zimbabwean Diaspora and the Bulawayo community at large, to mobilise resources (human, financial and material) to fight against COVID-19 in Bulawayo and surrounding areas.
What will the money be used for?
The initiative seeks to assist in containing & effectively managing the COVID-19 outbreak in Bulawayo and surrounding areas through:
- Furnishing and equipping the 4 hospitals (Mpilo, Thorngrove, Mater Dei, Ekusileni) selected for comprehensive Care, Treatment and Support following Testing, Contact Tracing and Isolation of potential COVID-19 cases in Bulawayo.
- Supporting social protection interventions for food insecure families and persons living with pre-existing vulnerabilities.
- Complementing government, donors and humanitarian agencies’ efforts of fighting and mitigating the adverse health, safety and socio-economic impact of the COVID19 pandemic.
