Last week we had the opportunity to have our own stand at Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Company ZITF, and today, we look back with gratitude and pride.

A heartfelt thank you to our exhibitors, especially the phenomenal and hardworking women of BVTO who represented us with excellence, resilience, and passion. You brought our stand to life.

We also extend our appreciation to all the stakeholders, partners, and visitors who came through, engaged with us, and supported our work.

We especially thank We Effect Southern Africa, who provided the support to make this exhibition a possibility.

Being part of this international platform gave us the opportunity to learn, share ideas, and connect with people from across the country and around the world. From new product innovations to advances in farming, the experience has been both inspiring and enriching.

We carry these lessons, connections, and momentum forward as we continue working to uplift vendors and traders.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
