About our Host Country

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe boasts a rich agricultural heritage and a significant portion of the population relies on farming for their livelihood. By focusing on this sector, the training program addresses a critical area of economic activity, ensuring that women are active participants and beneficiaries of advancements in agriculture.

Zimbabwean women have a long history of resilience and resourcefulness, making them well-positioned to embrace new agricultural technologies and innovations. By investing in women’s empowerment in Zimbabwe, the training program contributes to local development and serves as a model for similar initiatives across the African continent, where women’s contributions to agriculture are increasingly recognized as pivotal to sustainable development.

Our Commitment

THE GOAL OF THIS TRAINING IS TO
EQUIP ZIMBABWEAN WOMEN WITH
THE SKILLS AND PRACTICES AND
MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS

In the heart of Zimbabwe, a transformative initiative is underway, aiming to empower and uplift women in agriculture by infusing cutting-edge technology. This groundbreaking training program focuses on equipping Zimbabwean women with the skills and knowledge needed to leverage technology for scaling their agricultural businesses. By bridging the gap between traditional farming practices and modern technological solutions, we aspire to cultivate a new era where women are pivotal in driving innovation and efficiency in the agricultural sector.

This hands-on training imparts technical proficiency and fosters a supportive community where women can share experiences and insights. As these empowered entrepreneurs harness the potential of digital tools, ranging from precision farming to market analytics, the ripple effect is anticipated to extend beyond individual success stories, catalyzing a broader transformation in the landscape of women-owned businesses. Our shared goal is not just to elevate these women as tech-savvy leaders in agriculture but to spark a more significant movement that advances the use of technology as a catalyst for scaling and sustaining women-led enterprises across Zimbabwe.
