Specifically, the program will work to restore livelihoods and savings, enhance livestock production, and establish psychosocial support systems to mitigate mental health challenges affected by the pandemic. CRS-USCCB will implement the program in partnership with Caritas Bulawayo and with technical support from Tree of Life, with $324,875 and $143,150 allocated respectively to activities led by these sub-awardees.
