paNhari Mission
Our mission is to transform the problem of youth unemployment and underemployment into an opportunity for wealth creation and social improvement.

Our aim is to empower and equip young people with life skills and opportunities to become successful leaders, job creators and innovators in their communities and beyond. We believe that young people, especially university students and recent graduates, are a formidable workforce that can resuscitate the beleaguered Zimbabwean economy. However, these young people are faced with enormous barriers,

particularly with regard to employment and livelihoods

Focus
Our focus is to help young people prepare themselves for success in life beyond the classroom. Students and recent graduates struggle in making successful transitions to the world beyond the classroom. Traditional classroom experiences teach them how to retain information and pass exams, but provide them little about how to thrive in the broader world as productive participatory citizens. Aim
Our aim is to empower and equip young people with life skills and opportunities to become successful leaders, job creators and innovators in their communities and beyond.

In 2008, and Phil Mlanda at University of Zimbabwe believed young Africans didn’t need permission to lead. They just needed a platform. That vision became paNhari, reach the peak.

Seventeen years later, we’ve worked with thousands of young people across the continent. Climate action. Responsible AI. Agrifood innovation. Leadership that transforms communities. The work keeps growing because the mission matters.

And none of it happens without the people behind it.

Meet our core team. The builders. The connectors. The steady hands holding the centre as we scale into our biggest year yet. They’re part of a wider paNhari family of consultants, advisors, youth leaders, and partners who make this work possible every day.

2026 is looking special. New Board. New programmes. And a big announcement coming this week.

We’re proud of this team. We’re proud of this journey. And we’re just getting started. .j.wanjiru .k.nyamhunga

We're honored to introduce Ronnie Murungu as paNhari's Board Chair.

Ronnie brings decades of experience driving transformative change across Africa and the Middle East, having held senior leadership roles with ActionAid, American Refugee Committee, Caritas, ForAfrica, International Youth Foundation, Progressio, and WaterAid. His work has consistently championed human-centered approaches to development, youth empowerment, locally-led solutions, and trust-based grantmaking.

As a Global Council Member of the World Agriculture Forum, Ronnie brings strategic perspective on food sovereignty and agricultural transformation that aligns perfectly with paNhari's work. Over 15 years, we've trained 5,000+ young people across four pathways: agrifood futures, responsible AI, climate solutions, and transformative leadership, with 83% going on to lead ventures or drive community change.

At a pivotal moment as paNhari scales programs, diversifies revenue, and strengthens governance for long-term sustainability, Ronnie's leadership will ensure our work remains grounded in Ubuntu, locally-led development, and systems thinking.

Welcome, Ronnie. Grateful to build this next chapter under your guidance.

We're excited to welcome Diana Sang to paNhari's Board.

Diana brings over 15 years of experience leading digital transformation across Africa, from shaping mHealth initiatives at GSMA to advancing country engagement at the Digital Impact Alliance. Her work sits at the intersection of government systems, cross-sector partnerships, and scalable program design.

At paNhari, we work across four pathways: agrifood innovation, responsible AI and digital transformation, climate solutions, and transformative leadership. As we deepen partnerships with ministries and embed our programs within public education and youth-employment systems, Diana's expertise in government engagement and digital strategy will be invaluable in helping us achieve scale and sustainable impact across the continent.

Welcome to the team, Diana. Looking forward to what we'll build together.
