📍Day 2 Highlights – Youth Association Capacity Building & Co-Creation Workshop

As we close a fruitful two-day workshop, one of the key discussions centred on the National Youth Empowerment Strategy and how young people across the country can collaborate with Youth Desk Officers to contribute meaningfully towards Vision 2030 — building an Upper Middle-Income Society and achieving a $10 Billion Youth Economy.

Another major takeaway was the importance of evidence-based strategic planning for youth associations. Emphasis was placed on having integrated, results-based plans anchored in a long-term vision with lasting impact.

We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this impactful dialogue, which was hosted by the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development and Vocational Training.

The knowledge and tools gained through this workshop will positively impact our work in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) and mental health, enabling us to design more effective, youth-centred programs that respond directly to the needs of young people in our communities.

We are excited to connect, learn, and contribute to building inclusive, resilient, and impactful youth programming!

📣 On Tuesday Mufaro Association had the honour of participating in a powerful and inspiring workshop hosted by Dialogue on Shelter in partnership with Plan International under the Safe and Inclusive Cities (SAIC) Project.

The theme was:
"Strengthening Youth-Led Organisations for Collaboration on Community Development."

This timely conversation brought together youth-led groups and organisations committed to transforming our communities from the ground up.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✅ Collaboration is not optional — it’s essential.
We were reminded of the power of youth consortiums. Working together under a shared purpose to amplify our impact, mobilize resources, and implement joint activities that speak to the real needs of our communities.

✅ Applying for grants and implementing projects as a united network strengthens our voice, increases our reach, and builds trust with donors and communities alike.

✅ We explored the I-MPA-CI model, guiding us to collaborate thematically around:

Sexual & Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and GBV prevention

Climate action & waste management

Urban safety and violence prevention

Youth empowerment and vocational skills

✅ Even in the absence of funding, we were reminded that trust, purpose, and unity are our strongest currencies.

> "When one youth group teaches, the whole network learns. That’s how we grow — without limits."

Mufaro Association is proud to be part of a youth movement that believes in collective action, accountability, and shared learning. We move forward committed to building a stronger, more inclusive Zimbabwe — together.

Commemorating International Menstrual Hygiene Day 🩸

On May 28th, Mufaro Association proudly joined hands with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and collaborated with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development, other
like-minded organizations and local schools in Epworth to commemorate the International Menstrual Hygiene Day.

This important day served as a reminder of the urgent need to address the barriers that millions of menstruating individuals continue to face ranging from stigma and misinformation to lack of access to menstrual products, safe sanitation facilities, and comprehensive menstrual health education.

Through this partnership, we reaffirmed our commitment to advancing menstrual equity, especially for adolescents, by advocating for inclusive policies, community awareness, and improved access to dignified menstrual health services.

A key takeaway: boys must be included in Menstrual Hygiene Management (MSM) engagements to foster understanding and create lasting change.

Let’s continue working together to ensure that no one is held back because of their period.
