🌱 CELEBRATING WOMEN, AGRICULTURE & RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AT VAROZVI VILLAGE, CHIWUNDURA🌱

Save Our Environment Trust (SOET) recently held a vibrant Field Day at Varozvi Village, bringing together women farmers, community members, partners and stakeholders to celebrate the power of community-led agriculture and women’s contribution to sustainable livelihoods.

The Field Day was held under the Hlanganisa Community Fund funded project, “Promoting Community Based Agricultural Systems and Rural Women’s Livelihoods.”

The day featured inspiring speeches, knowledge sharing and a field tour of gardens established and managed by local women. Participants witnessed impressive crops including vegetables, cabbage, beetroot and spinach—demonstrating how community-based agricultural systems can strengthen household food security, generate income and build resilience.

A total of 35 garden beds participated in the field day competition, with the Top 10 outstanding beds recognised and rewarded with various prizes for their commitment, innovation and hard work.

The event also saw monetary and non-monetary support worth approximately USD $1,500 awarded to beneficiaries, providing an important boost towards strengthening livelihoods and sustaining community agricultural initiatives.

The Field Day also marked the launch of a new and exciting initiative:

“Restoring Ancestral Lands through Climate Smart Agriculture and Indigenous Knowledge Systems”

The project, supported by the African Union Development Agency – AUDA-NEPAD, seeks to reconnect communities with sustainable land management practices while combining indigenous knowledge with climate-smart agriculture.

The project aims to:

🌱 Restore degraded ancestral lands and improve soil health
🌾 Promote climate-smart and sustainable agricultural practices
🌿 Revive and integrate indigenous knowledge systems
👩🏾‍🌾 Empower women as restoration and livelihood entrepreneurs
👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏾 Engage young people in environmental restoration
🌍 Strengthen community resilience to climate change
🤝 Promote local ownership and collective action for sustainable development

The message from Varozvi Village was clear: when communities are empowered with knowledge, resources and opportunities, they can transform their land, livelihoods and future.

🌱 Target Outcomes: Healthy soils. Healthy food. Empowered women. Resilient communities. A sustainable future.

SOET is proud to walk alongside communities as we work together to restore our environment and build livelihoods that can withstand a changing climate.

Our Environment, Our Concern. 💚

We were honoured to lead a presentation at American Corner Gweru on “The National Parks, America’s Best Idea: The Scripture of Nature.”
The session explored the evolution and importance of the U.S. national parks system, while drawing meaningful connections to the Zimbabwean context. We discussed how lessons from the American model can inform conservation in Zimbabwe, particularly in the protection of our national parks, wildlife, biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

The presentation also highlighted the importance of community participation, environmental education, sustainable tourism and shared responsibility in ensuring that Zimbabwe’s natural heritage—such as Hwange, Mana Pools, Gonarezhou and other protected areas are conserved for generations to come.

It was a valuable platform for cross-cultural learning and sharing conservation experiences, demonstrating that while our countries have different landscapes and systems, the responsibility to protect nature is universal. 🌍💚
