Zimfund to assists IDPs and Victims of Organized Violence in Zimbabwe

The Movement For Democratic Change has set up a fundraising site geared towards mobilizing resources for the urgent humanitarian situation unfolding in Zimbabwe as a result of ZANU PF's post election retribution against opposition supporters. About 3000 families have been rendered homeless due to the escalating violence being perpetrated by ZANU PF supporters, the militia,war veterans, the police, and the army. About 500 people have been hospitalized and 10 people from the MDC have since died.

Due to what Tendai Biti has described as a transformation of the MDC into " the Red Cross Society", the party has come up with the Zimfund to raise funds for this humanitarian disaster. Anyone willing to donate to this fund can log on to Zimfund and donate funds safely through paypal to assist needy Zimbabweans.

The MDC should be applauded for this timeous intervention.
