We are grateful for every opportunity we get to welcome a member of our international staff onto the podcast. To be able to hear their heart behind why they do what they do is a great privilege! Today, we get to welcome Ngonidzashe Mudzani, or Ngoni for short, to the podcast.

She started working for HHI Women of Hope at the beginning of 2021, and before that worked for a few other organizations doing similar work. She received a degree in development studies from the Great Zimbabwe University and has a Master’s in population studies as well as a certificate in Monitoring & Evaluation.

Ngoni has done so much in the almost two years that she has been working with us, alongside our Country Coordinator John Dube and his wife Nakisai. She’s trained hundreds of women in business skills, facilitates at least 10 savings groups, and oversees 10 different women’s co-ops, 4 of which have started this year. There’s sewing groups, peanut butter groups, a couple bakeries, and a popcorn-making group that she meets with regularly to help them solve problems and grow.

We hope you enjoy this conversation between HHI President, Art Woods, and Zimbabwe’s Women of Hope Coordinator, Ngonidzashe!
