Powered by the GoodWorX Grant Competition, ZimWorX team members are driving bold, low-cost, high-impact initiatives that respond directly to community needs. These projects span environmental sustainability, health, education, and digital inclusion, demonstrating how small grants can unlock meaningful change.
Supported initiatives include Green the Ghetto Movement, a school-based fruit-tree planting project; Flow with Dignity, promoting menstrual health and hygiene; Early Start, Brighter Future, providing learners with textbooks; Breakthrough Bootcamp (CampThrive), addressing drug and substance abuse; Healthy Mothers, Healthy Future, offering antenatal education and mental-health support to 20 vulnerable pregnant women; and Project Uplinked, expanding digital access and mentorship.
In late 2025, the Green the Ghetto initiative took decisive steps toward a greener future. The team planted 20 fruit trees at Hatcliff Primary School, followed by another 20 at Tafara Primary School in Harare, Zimbabwe, marking the launch of a 100-Tree Campaign to bring shade, nutrition, and sustainability to urban schools. The effort continued with a third planting at Tafara High School, where 20 additional fruit trees were added, further expanding the project’s impact.
The Healthy Futures Initiative (HFI) Maternal Health Project was delivered in Chainda, Lusaka between October and November 2025 to support expectant and adolescent mothers through holistic antenatal education, mental and emotional health support, spiritual encouragement, and life-skills training.
In 2025 as well, Breakthrough Bootcamp (CampThrive) successfully delivered a four-week mentorship and discipleship pilot for 13 young men from Ngombe Compound in Zambia, addressing challenges such as emotional instability, lack of positive male role models, and vulnerability to substance abuse and crime.
