Zimbabwe · Completed project

After people arrived in Zimbabwe following reported xenophobic hostility in South Africa, continuing the journey home brought further transport costs. It's Nice to Be Here Charity responded with practical help.

The charity purchased onward bus tickets within Zimbabwe. The project's official record identifies 22 people who received this assistance.

The initiative centred on supporting people's dignity and easing the practical and financial pressures of onward travel.

Delivery is complete. Detailed implementation dates, expenditure and supporting close-out records are still being finalised.
