The less developed parts of Zimbabwe continue to squirm with low investments and little development, with cash shortages and rising commodity prices making villagers’ lives unbearable.

Over five million people in Zimbabwe are said to be living in extreme poverty, with rural areas constituting to the larger percentage.
