In partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and Plan International, we are scaling the Digital Skills for Youth Training Programme over the next 3 years. This initiative will equip 1,680 young individuals in Zimbabwe, particularly young women, with essential digital and entrepreneurship skills. Implemented across 5 locations—Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Chiredzi, and Tsholotsho—the program focuses on building employability, fostering sustainable income generation, and empowering youth through basic, intermediate, and advanced digital skills and entrepreneurship training.
Over the past two years, our partnership with the Segal Family Foundation has significantly advanced women’s empowerment in Zimbabwe. Through programs like Impact Queens and Street Business School, we’ve supported women from diverse backgrounds. Impact Queens, a community netball team, empowers women with scholarships, business training, and entrepreneurship support, backed by over $10,000 in team support. Street Business School has trained 50 participants, focusing on confidence-building and microbusiness skills, with 98% youth and 60% women participants.
Our long-standing partnership with UNDP has led to impactful programs in youth empowerment, climate action, entrepreneurship, and gender equality. Notable initiatives include Youth Connekt, which trained over 1,000 youth across Zimbabwe’s 10 provinces, and the MicroWorkspace program, which equipped unemployed youth with tech skills for online work, with 80% now employed locally and internationally. Additionally, Accelerate2030 supported over 40 entrepreneurs, and our joint Green Innovation Fair highlighted solutions to reduce carbon emissions, fostering innovation in sustainable development.
Green Innovation Fair
In partnership with the European Union and Enrich in Africa, Impact Hub Harare launched the Green Economy Startup Project, providing $8,000 worth of resources to five environmentally focused startups. The initiative supported businesses like Plorganics, promoting sustainable solutions and reducing toxic chemicals in personal care products. Additionally, the ENRICH scaling program helped African diaspora entrepreneurs expand their ventures in their home countries, fostering strategic relationships across Africa and driving the transition to a greener, more sustainable economy.

In partnership with UNICEF Zimbabwe and the City of Harare Nutrition Unit, Impact Hub Harare introduced the Guta blockchain system to improve school nutrition. The system, piloted at Mutasa Primary School with over 400 students, encourages the purchase of healthy food via an easy-to-use app. Vendors also benefit from personal mobile shops to track sales. Despite lockdown challenges, the month-long pilot saw 607 transactions, with 60% involving nutritious foods. The initiative promotes better diets for schoolchildren and strengthens the food system through innovative blockchain technology.
