In Mazowe, women are turning harvest challenges into income opportunities — thanks to hands-on training in value addition and the introduction of a mobile solar dryer. This lightweight, portable innovation is helping reduce post-harvest losses while boosting earnings through dried produce. From preserving tomatoes to crafting market-ready packages, women are gaining skills that put them in control of their produce, time, and profits.
In Chiweshe, women are turning what was once waste into wealth by using maize cobs — a common byproduct — to grow mushrooms. This simple yet powerful shift from cotton husks to maize cobs is making mushroom farming more accessible, affordable, and locally rooted. It’s not just an innovation in agriculture; it’s a story of women leading with resourcefulness, reshaping their livelihoods, and proving that sustainable change often begins with what’s already in our hands.
Discover how our partnership with the Women’s University in Africa has enabled us to empower women through sustainable mushroom farming, providing not only income but also environmental solutions in response to pressing challenges. Together, we are fostering resilience and improving livelihoods in communities across Zimbabwe.
