As a small organisation starting out, the interest is to gain community and access to networks that can support the work we are doing. In addition, the intention is to have access to potential collaboration opportunities with other organisations working on similar issues relating to the SDGs. Our overall framework is to develop youth that are motivated by the frameworks provided by the SDGs and Agenda 2063 in Africa this community will provide tools and expertise to achieve this.

Zvandiri strives for improved health and well-being for all children, adolescents and young people living with HIV. We do this through generating evidence to demonstrate what young people living with HIV need and what works, then advocating for policies, resource allocation and service delivery to make this possible at scale. We have made so much progress but want to network, learn and share with other social enterprises in the Catalyst 2030 network so we continue to strengthen our impact.
