Since 1983 when Save the Children began operations in Zimbabwe, the organisation has remained committed to children, by supporting the government and communities to  deliver on their mandate and make the country  a better place for children.  By implementing relevant child rights programmes, responding to emergencies and advocacy efforts, major milestones  have been reached. These have all contributed towards ensuring that the Zimbabwean child survives, learns and  is protected. Over the years Save the Children responded to several emergencies in Zimbabwe, notably the cholera emergency, drought and food insecurity, Cyclone Idai emergency and lately the COVID-19 emergency.
