    There has been a concerning increase in the number of cholera cases, especially among women and children, despite a significant decrease in cases from July to August. Mildred Makore, the country director of our organization, stated that in Manicaland, many individuals are forced to use overcrowded water facilities, while others have no choice but to rely on unsafe wells and rivers for their drinking water, thereby exposing themselves to further risks.

    Cholera, a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease, has resurfaced in Manicaland, causing alarm among health officials. The recent spike in cholera cases has reversed the progress made in decreasing the number of infections during the previous month. Mildred Makore, the country director of our organization, expressed concern over the situation and highlighted the vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, who are disproportionately affected.

    Manicaland, a region in Zimbabwe, is facing significant challenges in providing safe drinking water to its residents. The limited availability of clean water has led many people to resort to using crowded water facilities. The overcrowding increases the risk of contamination and facilitates the spread of diseases such as cholera. Additionally, those who do not have access to these facilities must rely on unsafe alternative sources, such as wells and rivers, further exposing themselves to the disease.

    The lack of proper sanitation and access to clean water exacerbates the already dire situation. Cholera is primarily transmitted through contaminated water or food, making it crucial for individuals to have access to safe drinking water and hygienic facilities. The current circumstances in Manicaland put the population at an increased risk of cholera outbreaks and underline the urgent need for intervention.

    Makore emphasized the importance of addressing this issue promptly and implementing measures to improve water and sanitation infrastructure in the region. Providing adequate resources and support to ensure clean water sources are available to all residents, especially to those in vulnerable communities, is essential in preventing the further spread of cholera.

    Efforts must be made to raise awareness about the risks associated with unsafe water sources and promote proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing. Additionally, ongoing monitoring and surveillance systems should be established to detect and respond to cholera cases promptly. By prioritizing the improvement of water and sanitation conditions, the region can mitigate the impact of cholera and protect the health and well-being of its population, particularly women and children who are most at risk.
