Starvation Alleviation Campaign: De Doorns, South Africa 2010

The organization, in collaboration with the South African National Civic Organization (SANCO), distributed maize meal, beans, oil, and salt to the most vulnerable Zimbabweans living in the De Doorns refugee camp and South Africans in the neighboring township. This is the first installment of what the organization hopes to be an ongoing project to fill the humanitarian need left by the government's inaction.

Background on the De Doorns refugee camp: In November 2009, more than 3,000 Zimbabweans were displaced from their homes in De Doorns by xenophobic violence. A safety site was set up on the local rugby field. Today, there are still more than 400 Zimbabweans living in the camp. The camp remains open because of the government's failure to fulfill its legal obligation to engage with the camp's elected representative committee about what the residents need in order to move out and on with their lives.
