Fighting the challenges of food Insecurity, HIV/AIDS, un-wanted pregnancies and unemployment among women and girls requires a holistic way in dealing with the problem in rural setup in Zimbabwe. Family-In-Need Trust of Zimbabwe uses sport as an empowerment tool in fighting the above problems women face and in helping then realize their potential. The uses of sport as an empowerment tool has proved to be very effective as sport is widely accepted with the African cultural contexts and communities
The project will provide livelihoods and food security support using sport as a social change agent within the rural communities. The mainstreaming of sporting ill help in bring women and girls together to fight problems they face
This project will create a systematic change towards improving 500 women’s welfare through vibrant and sustainable social structures and improve livelihoods and fighting food insecurity thus reducing poverty levels among rural women.
We where in the dark until we realised that sport can also empower women and girls in rural Zimbabwe, This is really great.
