Exploring the ecosystem in Zimbabwe, visiting social ventures and meeting young entrepreneurs, who practice social entrepreneurship and solving problems in the community while contributing to better and stronger communities, were the key points during the third Contact Making Seminar as part of the Youth Empowerment through Social Entrepreneurship “We Care, Too” (YES WE CARE 2) project.
The team of Mladiinfo International together with the European partners Risky Business from Romania and ICT4D.at from Austria , hosted by our partners and friends Young Africa Zimbabwe, as part of the Youth Empowerment through Social Entrepreneurship “We Care, Too” (YES WE CARE 2) project, have mapped and visited social businesses and social business connectors in two cities of Zimbabwe – Harare and Chitungwiza.
At the first day of the Seminar, the project team was welcomed by e4Impact – The Catholic University of Zimbabwe that provides education, research and service programs, and fosters commitment, service, moral uprightness and academic excellence.
During the visit, the team also had a chance to visit the Zimbabwe Sunshine Group – an assembly of young people who desire to see good waste management standards, as well as, Tamba Washables, a business that provides washable diapers in order to cut the poor waste collection.
Our team also paid a visit to our hosts Young Africa Zimbabwe who are also helping young social entrepreneurs to develop and promote their business in Harare and several other cities across the country.
