In January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak of thenew Corona Virus disease, Covid -19, a pandemic. Who stated that there is a high riskof Covid-19 spreading to other countries around the whole world as we arewitnessing in Zimbabwe today. Since then, Zimbabwe and the rest of the World hasbeen ushered in a series of lockdown restrictions and movement has been seriously
restricted. Prisons has not been spared in this crisis.
With the advent of COVID19 throughout the entire world, it brought with it the need
to change the way we do things. Prisonsis not an exception family, friends and wellwishers have become constrained when it comesto their ability to assist inmates withgroceries. A gap has thus been created that TEAM in Africa and GAIN Cash & Carrydesires to plug. We have created a platform for friends and relatives to buy groceriesonline or any GAIN Cash and Carry shops close to them and deliveries to their lovedones in prisons are done at no cost.
The challenge now comes to those who do not have friends and relatives to supportthem with grocery supplies. This is now a call to well wishers to come together andadopt inmates in need during this time of the covid 19 pandemic. Every month wewould wish to receive donation hampers for these less priviledged inmates.
