OVER 100 young women in Kambuzuma, Harare, have acquired provisional learner licences through a programme sponsored by the Young Women for ED aimed at empowering youths.
The programme was targeted first-time voters in an effort to encourage them to register to vote for the 2023 harmonised elections.
The organisation partnered with local driving schools and over 200 women attended the course. Representative of the driving schools, Mr Marshall Takudzwa Manyawu, who conducted the oral lessons, said: “It’s a programme that was implemented by Young Women for ED in partnership with us to help the community, especially first-time voters, to acquire their learner’s license for free. Attendance was 200-plus and so far the passes are now over 100.”
Young Women for ED has embarked on a number of self-help projects.
