The SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub

As women, we must stand together, united in our strength and determination to build a better future for ourselves and our communities.

In our ongoing mission to empower women and uplift rural communities, Sprout Women Empowerment Trust (SWET) is proud to announce the establishment of the SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub, made possible with the generous support of The German Embassy in Harare.

At the heart of the SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub is a solar-powered borehole, providing the community with access to clean and safe drinking water. This development has been transformative for the local community, ensuring that 25 households have a sustainable source of water for consumption and irrigation.

In addition to providing access to clean water, the SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub also features a community garden, which serves as a vital source of vegetables for the local households. This garden not only improves food security but also promotes healthy eating habits and nutrition within the community.

Beyond addressing immediate needs, the aim of the empowerment hub is to equip women with practical skills that enable them to adapt to the harsh climatic environment of Chiweshe. Through training in agriculture, including gardening and mushroom farming, women are empowered to enhance their economic self-sufficiency, whether through employment opportunities or entrepreneurship ventures.

The SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub represents a beacon of hope and resilience for the community, providing women with the tools and resources they need to thrive in challenging circumstances. By fostering economic empowerment and community development, SWET continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of rural women and their families.

As we celebrate the establishment of the SWET Chiweshe Rural Hub, we extend our deepest gratitude to The German Embassy in Harare for their generous support.
