This gift provides girls and their families in Zimbabwe with the knowledge and awareness of climate-induced crises, as well as the steps to take to protect their livestock businesses during severe drought. That way, they can stay financially stable and continue to pay girls’ school fees! 

4. School Kits: 4 Kits — $32

5. Train a Soccer Team — $42
