"...Make the Difference..."

Zimbabwe shall rise again and things will turn around; of this, we are certain. Until that time comes, however, there is still uncertainty as to when this will be, and life in Zimbabwe has become a “survival of the fittest” arena in a place of such great wealth and abundance. People are not guaranteed of coming home with provisions for home when they go out shopping. This scenario has resulted in a people who - resilient, faithful and steadfast though they be – are in an uncharacteristic state of despondency and apathy. This should not be so.

Approximately 4 million Zimbabweans (about 25% of the total population) have, over the past 7 years, emigrated to the four corners of the Earth, under the pretext of either escaping hard political and economic times or simply looking for greener pastures. These greener pastures were, for the most part, intended to feed and provide for the family that had remained at home. For the longest time, this has worked wonders, and made THE significant difference in the lives of the family members at home.

Recently, however, even those in the Diaspora have been in no position to help their families because, though the money is available, there are no goods available to buy with it. Those fortunate few that have been able to do so, have resorted to crossing the border for their groceries, going to Botswana or South Africa to bring back groceries. However, not everyone has the time or means to be able to make such a trip for grocery shopping. Some simply cannot go through the hassle of trying to obtain a VISA and making travel plans, and therefore suffer the frustration of having financial means and no means of obtaining provisions for family.

If you can relate to this analysis, we have a solution to your worries. We have introduced a service and a facility that will enable you to still make your presence in the Diaspora count for something. You can still give your family something to show for your financial ability to provide for them. We have come into partnership with major supermarkets that will permit you to keep your families well-fed despite the present uncertain conditions at home.
