Pastors band together to support the Victoria Falls community

The pastoral leaders from a diverse array of churches throughout the Victoria Falls and Hwange Rural District region have during the lockdown period been working together to participate in and support the ongoing efforts of the Victoria Falls COVID-19 taskforce.

From raising awareness on health and safety, to raising funds and securing food donations to assist with food security efforts, assisting with distribution of supplies to vulnerable households in both urban and rural communities, to growing seedlings for the communities to develop their own nutritional gardens and community support centres, and providing vital counselling to families and frontline workers throughout the lockdown period, the pastoral leaders have been a vital and integral part of the ongoing efforts of preparedness and response that have taken place over the past few months.
