Other forms of humanitarian assistance. Government continued to provide low budgetary allocations to the Zimbabwe Prison Service; hence ZPS could not adequately provide other basic needs for inmates. As the result shortage of uniforms or clothing and sanitation in general was a major problem. As cited by Miss Bhunhu the welfare manager – inmates at Rusape prison were most affected by shortage of uniforms. Some of them could be seen walking half nude. This prompted the organization to further source cloths from churches and individuals which were distributed to the inmates. As the result ZACRO posts gratitude to Marimba Park SDA which donated cloths on 23 July and its wing - Dorcas Ministries which donated sanitation to women and children at Chikurubi female prison. Counseling Services Unit (CSU) donated sanitary to help the female offenders which were distributed to them on 23 July 2008. Again the organization had to pay for transport of released inmates to their respective homes as a humanitarian gesture after many busses were reportedly turning down traveling warrants which the ex-offenders were given by the prison on day of release. This was mostly done under the service of the half way home project. Among those helped was one exinmate who was helped with bus fare to Mutoko on 16 July 2008. The old inmate who stayed at ZACRO premises under the half way home project helped the secretariat set up a vegetable and flower garden and beautified the ZACRO headquarters in Harare. 32
