Zimbabwe’s Forgotten Children tells the story of three children trying to survive in Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, a country which was once the jewel of Africa but where the infrastructure is now in terminal collapse. Grace, Esther and Obert show us how they not only struggle to put food in their mouths but also desperately seek the money they need to pay next term’s school fees.
Since making the film we have been able to help the children and families featured - updates on all three are below. But Esther, Obert and Grace are just three among many hundreds of thousands of children in desperate need of help. To reach out to these children, we are working to make education a reality for as many of Zimbabwe's Forgotten Children as possible.
One year from the first broadcast of the film on BBC FOUR, a team went back into Zimbabwe to catch up with the children, and record how your generosity has changed their lives.
