Interviewing a young widow. |
This data was collected in late 2003 and early
2004 in Nyschuru council of the Chiweshe communal land. The
Nyschuru council consists of 17 villages and is a good representations
of how the situation is in most of the rural areas of Zimbabwe.
Some places it is better, some places worse. It is an attempt
to document how many children that are missing one or both
of their parents, and are dependent of support in order to
survive.
Caregivers are either widows, grandmothers or sisters taking
care of any number of children. Lone fathers are not documented.
We soon realised that we should have included many more in
the documentation, but did not have time or resources to start
over again. The actual number of 'women alone' might be twice
as high.
*One kitchen hut may be shared by several
families, but is a fair representation of the size of the village.
