TWENTY-YEAR-OLD female entrepreneur Tanatswa Dindimanga says she is aiming to empower over 300000 vulnerable children by 2030.
She is the founder of Organically You and has been helping orphans and underprivileged children through her foundation, Organically Foundation.
“I was in Mashonaland East donating school uniforms, school shoes, socks and stationery to female primary students in celebration of the International Women’s Day.
“As we are celebrating the day, we are also supporting young females in schools in line with Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 5 which is ensuring quality education and gender equality.
“This goal supports the reduction of disparities and inequities in education, both in terms of access and quality.
“SDG 5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. By doing this, the goal is to empower 300 000 kids by 2030.
“The reason why I have always wanted to support and empower young kids and teenagers is because I believe “given the right tools and guidance young people can make it happen.
“I believe young people have the power to do anything they want. Young people are the future leaders.
“Young people can change the world and through my foundation I want to empower young kids and teenagers through supporting their education and also teaching them on how to start and run a business,” she said.
She believes in supporting the dreams of little children.
“If kids are interested in something even though that might seem silly to you, don’t shoot them down by telling them that their dreams are just dreams and that they need to look for something else to dream about.
“Let’s give young people a chance, they are the next CEOs of the future.
“My dream is to support 300 000 vulnerable young kids in all 10 provinces of the country by 2030 and by God’s grace l have hope that this dream is achievable.
“I pray that God gives me strength, wisdom and ability to keep using my foundation as a great tool to help the vulnerable in my society.
“The main goal or aim of my foundation is to move in line with Sustainable Development Goals providing basic education for the kids living in rural areas not only supporting the girl child or boy child but supporting both genders.”
Tanatswa’s foundation mainly focuses on the empowerment of young children.
“I believe, if young people are given the right path and tools they can change the world.
“As children grow up they have different aspirations and dreams, they need support and belief from someone in order to have confidence in their dreams.
“As a young entrepreneur I really understand the concept of people not believing in you and people believing in you.
“I really understand what it feels like not to be supported and to be supported, so let’s give these young kids a chance and see how far they will go.”
