CLICK TO WATCH Pathways Women Empowerment and Girl Child Support in Zimbabwe in action!
Wondering what reaching ladies and girls in remote villages in Africa looks like? Click here to see Pathways Women Empowerment and Girl Child Support in Zimbabwe in action! This month, seamstresses and team members Susan and Lisa journeyed for hours through wilderness and rivers to reach a village all but isolated. The singing, dancing and joyous greeting of the villagers demonstrate their happiness of experiencing people who care about their health and future happiness.
Typically, the villager’s only contact with the outside world is a mobile clinic that stops by every few months, making any products for ladies’ monthly cycles a huge challenge for women and girls in the community – especially during COVID-19.
The Pathways Women Empowerment and Girl Child Support team is willing to travel for hours, experiencing very difficult circumstances to reach women and girls in extremely rural areas. Thanks go to our generous friends and donors who are partners in this great adventure to serve the many unreached with sanitary supplies. This allows girls to not miss a week of school each month and prevent all ladies from contracting tetanus when they do not have clean, washable, waterproof sanitary pads to use during their monthly cycle. CEO and community leader Trymore Ndolo always accompanies the ladies to greet the men and teach them about women’s health issues.
Our hearts are so full seeing what our global team members, leaders and partners can accomplish. Together we are truly changing the world!

We are thankful to our thoughtful, caring donors who make it possible for these girls to receive an education which will open opportunities for a better life and hope for the future.
