9 USAP Community School alumni have successfully completed Capstone Fellowships in their community from January to June 2025, creating lasting impact on their community, and with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Capstone Fellowship Program is a key initiative of Education Matters, stemming from the USAP Community School’s Capstone Projects class. This program empowers the USAP Community School graduating students (U6 students) to turn their well researched project solutions into real-world solutions and actually implement them thus positively impacting their communities in Zimbabwe.
Capstone Fellows receive mentorship, training, access to a network of industry experts, and seed funding to implement their project solutions in their communities. This year our 9 Fellows successfully completed Capstone Projects in partnership with members of their community, and with the guidance of Education Matters staff. In this report you will find photo summaries of the projects completed.
The Capstone Fellowship Program has a transformative impact on both the fellows and the communities they serve. Our students come from all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe, with many from rural and high-density areas where resources are limited. The fellowship places fellows at the heart of these communities, where their projects can address the most pressing issues.
For fellows, the program is a powerful stepping stone to a career of impact, offering a chance to build a professional network while still in school. It also fosters a sense of fulfilment as they begin to see the tangible results of their efforts to address real-world problems.
