Although scientists disagree about the extent to which these changes will happen, they do agree that there have been and will be changes in average climatic conditions; there will be changes in the frequency and intensity of weather hazards; already variable climates will become less predictable, and there is considerable uncertainty about the distribution and impact of these changes. When temperatures increase and rainfall decreases as a result of climate change, farming in the semi-arid regions which constitute half of Zimbabwe will become increasingly arduous, with potentially disastrous impacts on farmer livelihoods and on food security in rural regions. The identified areas are prone to perennial droughts, severe crop failure (particularly maize crop) , dwindling vegetation, famine, and this has, to a large extent, compromised the quality of life for mainly economically disadvantaged families. These includes Child Headed Homes, Windows, HIV/AIDS infected and affected, the Elderly and a number of poor families Project Goal Building Climate Resilient Society through Sustainable Community Enhancement Capacity Building.
