As the Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children (ZNCWC), we stand in solidarity with the Child President in calling for urgent action to protect children on our roads and in all forms of transportation.

Every child has the right to travel safely. Their lives, dreams, and future matter. We urge transport operators, authorities, communities and all road users to put children’s safety first and ensure that preventable tragedies never become the norm.

Safe transportation saves children. Protecting children is our shared responsibility

The month concluded with ZNCWC participating in the Zim-Zam TDH Partners Dialogue and Gender Training, held at Bronte from 24–26 August 2026. The dialogue brought together TDH partners and key stakeholders from Zimbabwe and Zambia to strengthen collaboration, share experiences, reflect on emerging issues, and promote gender-responsive programming. The engagement was also attended by the Child President and the Provincial Head from the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development and Vocational Training, further strengthening child and youth participation in discussions on issues affecting young people.

The week culminated in a visit by a delegation from the TDH Regional Office, who had an opportunity to engage with Vocational Training Centre (VTC) beneficiaries and Young Africa management. The visit provided an opportunity for the delegation to gain firsthand insights into the implementation of the vocational training component, interact with beneficiaries, and hear about their experiences and progress.

The delegation also met with the Chitungwiza Voices for Peace Ambassadors, who shared their experiences and perspectives on peacebuilding, youth participation, and community engagement. This provided an important platform for young people to directly engage with TDH representatives and demonstrate their contribution to promoting peaceful and resilient communities.

Building a Culture of Peace!

We are proud to have established two Peace Clubs in Chitungwiza and Hopley under the Terre des Hommes (TDH) project. These clubs provide safe spaces for children and young people to promote dialogue, resolve conflicts peacefully, and become champions of peace in their communities

The Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children (ZNCWC) is deeply saddened by the recent tragic incident in Eastview area 10 Mabvuku in which two young children lost their lives. Our heartfelt condolences go to the family, loved ones, and everyone affected by this devastating event.

This tragedy serves as a painful reminder that children are often the silent victims of violence and conflict within the home. Every child has the right to grow up in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment, free from fear, abuse, and harm.

ZNCWC calls upon families, communities, and all stakeholders to promote peaceful conflict resolution and to seek support when faced with domestic or family challenges. No child should ever bear the consequences of violence between adults.

We encourage anyone experiencing or witnessing domestic violence to speak out and seek assistance through the appropriate support services. Early intervention can save lives and help protect children from preventable harm.

As investigations into this incident continue, we urge the public to allow the relevant authorities to carry out their work while respecting the dignity and privacy of those affected.

ZNCWC remains committed to working with Government, civil society, communities, and families to strengthen child protection systems and ensure that every child in Zimbabwe is safe, protected, and able to thrive.
