Care to Share
In Zimbabwe, where youth unemployment remains alarmingly high, access to practical skills training is more urgent than ever. Many young people, especially the most vulnerable, struggle to find pathways into dignified work, financial independence, and sustainable livelihoods. Care to Share responds to this need by equipping disadvantaged youth with life-changing skills, while also strengthening local organisations to replicate Young Africa’s proven models of empowerment.

According to the World Bank, only 28% of the population has access to electricity, with a stark urban-rural divide, exacerbating the impact of energy shortages.
