Big News from Zimbabwe!
It’s been a little quiet on the donation front these past few months, but behind the scenes we’ve been busier than ever and we’re SO excited to share what’s been happening.
We have about 20 amazing young people graduate from our training programs every 2 weeks But here’s the thing: we don’t believe in stopping at graduation. We know that’s when the real challenges start, and we’re not about to leave them on their own.
So… we launched something NEW. Something we’re incredibly proud of.
The Professional Volunteering Program
We’ve started connecting our graduates with expert mentors from around the world — people just like you — who jump on WhatsApp and monthly video calls to guide them through their first steps as entrepreneurs.
And it’s working:
Our graduates now have direct, personal support from people who’ve been there before.
They’re getting practical advice, encouragement, and someone to celebrate wins with (big and small!).
We’re seeing deeper, more meaningful relationships in the community — and that means we’re backing the right people at the right time.
This is more than just micro-loans now. It’s building confidence, knowledge, and networks.
Right now, we’re getting ready to grow this program and that’s where YOU come in:
If you love the idea, please consider donating. Every contribution helps us build up the loan fund so our graduates can actually put their new skills (and mentor advice!) into action.
OR… maybe you’d like to get involved as a professional volunteer yourself? If you’ve got skills in business, finance, marketing, or just a passion for guiding young entrepreneurs — we’d love to have you on board.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about small loans. It’s about real, life-changing support. With your help, we can give these young people the tools, the funding, and now the mentorship to turn their ideas into thriving businesses.
It’s been a tough season with government funding being pulled, but honestly — we feel more inspired than ever. This project is evolving into something powerful, and we’d love for you to be part of the next chapter.
Thank you for believing in us and our entrepreneurs. Together, we’re proving that with a little support, big dreams really can take off.
