Meet the Conservation Changemakers | Empowering Zimbabwean Women

Zimbabwe comes from the Shona' dzimba dza mabwe' or houses of stone. I've always loved my country's name; it suggests we Zimbos are solid, here to stay. After listening and learning from our powerhouse women speakers - Winnie Muchanyuka, CEO of Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Victoria Sibanda, CEO of VIRL Financial Services, Dr. Moreangels Mbizah, zoologist and founder of Wildlife Conservation Action, Lisa Hywood, founder of the Tikki Hywood Foundation, Sarah Clegg, an ecologist at the Malilangwe Trust, Mona Muravu, founder of the Girl Child Empowerment Trust, entrepreneur Diane Chimboza, co-founder of Under the Influence, and Shelley Warth co-founder of RESCUWS - my mind was blown. The pride I felt was indescribable. These women's roots stretch deep into Zimbabwe's red soil. The seeds they're sowing through their endeavors are transforming the daily experiences of Zimbabwean women and, in turn, the trajectory of my homeland that we all love, a place so often maligned on the global stage."- Deborah Calmeyer, Founder and CEO, ROAR AFRICA
