$10 million

     Let's say the Government of Canada has established a $10 million fund to deal with the refugee crisis in Zimbabwe. To be awarded this ten million dollar contract, a proposal must be submitted to CIDA - the Canadian International Development Agency- in order to be considered for the fund. Three programs that are considered to be created to solve the issue in Zimbabwe is: 1. Provide better refugee camps 2. Help them start new, and 3. Help fight against the government.


                 1. Providing better refugee camps
                              Doing so helps keep them healthy, as you see that most refugee camps such as these          
 (picture on top left) are run down, made from the nearest resources available and are rather small. With $10 million dollars, that could do more than enough to provide good shelter, food, drinkable water, restrooms and many many more. Even $10 000 which is 1 one thousandth of the funds can  provide a much better living area for refugee's in Zimbabwe. This will keep the refugees willing to continue on with life living a healthy life with their children.



                 2. Help them start new.
                              Providing the funds that they need can give them a second chance in life and build up since most people that flee the country go to South Africa and look for jobs to provide their families with. Giving them some starting money can allow them to travel back and forth from their work and homes without the worry of their children starving. When they do maintain their proceeds, they can move on with a sustainable life without the worry of fleeing or going back to their home country.



                   3. Help fight against the government.
                                   The government is the main cause of all the refuge in Zimbabwe with the oppression        
and all. If we help fight against the government, maybe things will go back to normal. Giving what they had back will probably lead to much greater things in the future helping with development.
