As the sun scorches the surface of the earth in Matabeleland South province, children's academics are also feeling the heat.

Tjingabili primary pupils from the Mangwe District travel several kilometres to attend school in the sweltering heat, taking a toll on them. According to the United Nations Children's Fund 1.7 million children are food insecure in the country.The soaring cases of children fainting at Tjingabili prompted Mguni to establish a small garden in the vicinity of the school.

Tjingabili received US$6 599 at the beginning of the year which has been used for the re-establishment of the nutrition garden.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
