To increase accessibility of services for migrants and their families, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) have officially opened the fourth RedSafe kiosk in Zimbabwe.
The kiosk, located in Beitbridge in the south of Zimbabwe bordering South Africa, is run by Zimbabwe Red Cross attendants and offers migrants a range of services aimed at helping them re-establish and maintain contact with their relatives, such as free calls and internet sessions. These services also include access to the RedSafe app which allows migrant communities to safely store their personal documents (IDs, medical records, education certificates) through a digital vault; access practical migration-related information and alerts, warning users of time-bound specific services such as updates on the vaccination rollout or news of impending floods. RedSafe also allows users to save a copy of their contacts in their digital vault, limiting loss of contact.
