A devastating fire has razed the Daisy Dube Children’s Home in Chipinge displacing dozens of orphaned and vulnerable children and prompting an urgent appeal for humanitarian assistance.
The fire, which broke out earlier this week destroyed sleeping quarters, clothing and vital supplies leaving the children without shelter or basic necessities.
The incident comes at a particularly difficult time as winter temperatures continue to drop across the region.
The children’s home has issued a list of priority items urgently needed to restore a sense of normalcy. These include:
-Warm clothing and shoes
-Blankets and bedding
-Food supplies
-Toiletries including diapers and sanitary pads
-School uniforms and educational materials
The home housed children of various ages, including toddlers and school-age children. Many of them now sleep in makeshift arrangements as they await relief.
Members of the public, businesses, churches, and civic organisations are being encouraged to make donations either in kind or financially.
