A brainchild of agriculture-based organisation 4-H Zimbabwe Foundation, the awards will be held at Chirumhanzu District at Chengwena village in Ward 4. The awards are held in conjunction with the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Resettlement.

“Everything is in place for the inaugural awards with the first edition to be held in Midlands province followed by Matabeleland provinces before the programme is rolled out countrywide.
“The excelling women will be awarded with ox-drawn ploughs, maize seeds, hoes and certificates,” said Miss Chomola.
