• Heart of a woman is a brainchild of a group of passionate Zimbabwean citizens, who seek to ensure that the needs of defined marginalised groups in societies are addressed in an enabling environment which promotes gender equality.
• Founded in early 2014, Heart of a woman’s values were upheld by the trustees, who on a voluntary basis engaged Zimbabwean rural societies since its inception.

rganisation is working with local religious ministries, corporates, homes/orphanages and prisons departments to address the plight of prisoners and children incarcerated with their mothers among other things. Heart of a woman is not content to be a Trust that simply meet the physical needs of people, but one that imparts knowledge and capacitate people in distress who in turn can fulfil their purpose in life and realise their dreams.

As winter approaches, we’re reminded that not everyone faces the cold with comfort. In female prisons, mothers and young children endure long, bitter nights with limited access to warm clothing and blankets. We are appealing for donations to provide winter essentials — blankets, jerseys, socks, baby clothes, tennis shoes, socks and hygiene items — for women and children who have little means. Your contribution does more than fight the cold, it restores dignity. It tells a mother that she and her child are not forgotten. Please consider donating or sharing this appeal. Together, we can make sure this winter is measured in warmth, not suffering. Kindly get in touch with us on 077 231 0376 and be a part of this worthy initiative.

Heart of a Woman Trust winded down International Women’s month by hosting a netball tournament at Chikurubi Female Prison, on Saturday 28 March 2026. Sports and recreational activities are key towards the rehabilitation process. They are crucial for holistic development promoting physical well being; mentally reducing stress and enhancing cognitive function. Over and above sports foster a culture of team spirit and discipline. Big shoutout to the ladies who competed we play together we win together.

International Women's Day is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for women's rights and justice. This year's theme, "Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls," is a call to action for everyone to recognize the importance of empowering women and girls globally.

As an inmate, I may be physically confined, but my voice and spirit remain unbroken. I'm part of a community that understands the value of resilience and determination. Women and girls worldwide face incredible challenges, from inequality to violence, and it's time for collective action.

The Heart of a Woman trust stands in solidarity with women and girls, advocating for their rights and empowerment. We're committed to creating opportunities for education, economic independence, and personal growth.

On this International Women's Day, let's honor the strength and courage of women everywhere. Let's amplify their voices, support their causes, and work towards a future where every woman and girl can thrive.

Hearts United. Hope Ignited.”

What a day of courage, compassion, and connection!
Our Cancer Awareness Workshop at Chikurubi reminded us that healing begins when women come together.

From powerful testimonies to free screenings and laughter shared behind walls — every moment was filled with hope and sisterhood.

Thank you to our partners, volunteers, medical teams, and every woman who showed up with love.
Together, we are the heartbeat of change.

Behind Bars, Not Beyond Hope”

Even walls can’t cage a woman’s spirit.
At Heart of a Woman Trust, we believe every woman — free or confined — deserves dignity, love, and a second chance.
Today, we send our hearts to the brave women in Zimbabwe’s correctional centers — you are not forgotten.

🌼 Hope grows in every heart that chooses to heal.
