On Friday 15 May 2026 at 14h30 SAST, young leaders from across Africa are coming together for a live webinar on Sexual and Reproductive Health and what it means for Africa's future.

Africa has the youngest population in the world. That's an incredible opportunity. But that opportunity only becomes real when young people are healthy, informed, and empowered to make choices about their own lives and bodies.

Youth leaders from Botswana, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Djibouti, Malawi and Ethiopia will be sharing real stories, real challenges, and real solutions. Not policy jargon, but lived experience.

This is your invitation to listen, learn, and join the conversation.

Today is International Workers’ Day 💼👩‍🌾👮‍♀️👩‍⚕️

It’s more than just a public holiday, it’s a reminder that the working world we know today didn’t just happen. Back in 1886, workers in Chicago stood up and demanded fairer hours, pushing for the 8-hour workday instead of exhausting 17-hour shifts. That fight shaped the rights many people benefit from today.

For us young people, this day is also about thinking ahead, the kind of work we want, the conditions we deserve, and the future we’re building. It’s also a moment to recognise how women continue to break barriers across spaces like education, health, business and leadership, showing that progress is possible when opportunities are equal.

So while we celebrate, we also reflect. Fair work, equal pay, safe environments. These are our rights, and they are worth protecting and pushing forward.

Happy International Workers’ Day 🌍✊🏽

This generation of adolescents will live with the consequences of decisions we weren’t allowed to make.

Young people cannot thrive on a planet that cannot thrive.

Protect the conditions our futures depend on! We need:

• 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 - so rivers, lakes and wetlands continue to sustain life

• 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 - so ecosystems support livelihoods and communities
• 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 - so community economies and food systems are sustained

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 💜 Today we celebrate the strength, creativity and achievements of women and girls everywhere. But it’s also a reminder that the journey to equality isn’t finished yet — especially for young girls.

Across Africa, millions of girls still face barriers to education, safety and opportunities, and nearly 1 in 3 girls will experience violence in their lifetime. Too many are judged for their choices, pushed out of school by pregnancy, or told their dreams are “too big.”

This year’s theme reminds us that real change starts with how we treat each other every day. Supporting girls means sharing the right information, refusing to shame someone for asking about contraception, standing up against sexism, and cheering your friends on when they chase their goals.

Because when girls gain confidence, knowledge and support, they don’t just change their own futures — they help change the world.

Let’s build a future where every girl feels safe, respected and unstoppable.

On the 3rd of February 2026, SAT Zimbabwe participated in the ZNASP V Validation Meeting, representing civil society and youth perspectives. The meeting was held to review, validate, and finalise the Zimbabwe National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan V (ZNASP V), ensuring it is responsive to emerging trends in HIV, community needs, and national development priorities. Stakeholders from government, civil society, development partners, and community-based organisations came together to provide inputs on strategic priorities, interventions, and implementation approaches.

SAT Zimbabwe actively contributed by advocating for youth-led and community-centred approaches, highlighting the need for SRHR-HIV integration, and supporting social accountability and monitoring mechanisms at the community level. Our inputs emphasised the importance of meaningful engagement of young people in designing and implementing HIV programs and ensuring interventions are rights-based, accessible, and evidence-informed.

Through participation in the ZNASP V Validation Meeting, SAT Zimbabwe continues to strengthen its role as a key civil society partner in shaping Zimbabwe’s HIV response, ensuring that programs reach those most in need and reflect the voices of communities, especially adolescents and young people.
