It's been an exciting week in Mutare. 24 teachers from Magamba and Mutare Vocational Training Centres in Zim are being trained to be Life Skills Education Facilitators. They will support youths to acquire critical life skills and train youths to make informed decisions #TVET

A big THANK YOU to @PostcodeLoterij for their support, which enhances our impact & empowers our youth to actively contribute to creating a sustainable world. Through the Greenovating TVET project, we aim to cultivate innovation & a strong sense of responsibility among our youth.
