This Africa Day, as we reflect on the theme:
“Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063”
we must remember that the water crisis in Africa is also a women’s issue.
In Zimbabwe, women in rural communities spend an average of 3–4 hours every day collecting water. Time that could be invested in education, entrepreneurship, leadership, family care, or rest is instead spent walking long distances in search of this basic necessity.
Even more concerning, approximately 47% of rural water sources are contaminated, contributing to outbreaks of cholera and typhoid that continue to threaten families and communities.
African women are resilient. They carry homes, communities, economies, and nations on their shoulders. But access to clean water and safe sanitation should not be a privilege, it is a right.
As we celebrate Africa Day, let us advocate for:
💧 Clean and accessible water for all
💧 Safe sanitation systems
💧 Investment in rural infrastructure
💧 Protection of women and girls’ dignity, health, and time
An empowered Africa begins with healthy women and thriving communities.

Today, we commemorate
In Zimbabwe, this day carries a deeper meaning when we reflect on the women who form the backbone of our society. Women make up 54% of the population and 59.7% of the workforce, yet their contribution extends far beyond formal employment.
To the women leading at national level, shaping policy and driving change, your impact is visible and vital.
To those leading in communities, churches, and organisations your influence builds and sustains our social fabric.
And to the women leading within families, the mothers, caregivers, and nurturers your work is often unseen, unpaid, and uncelebrated, yet it is foundational to everything we are.
Unpaid care work is work. It is leadership. It is sacrifice. It is nation-building.
Today, we honour the resilience, strength, and quiet endurance of Zimbabwean women in all their roles. May we not only recognise your contribution but actively create systems that value, support, and uplift you.
Happy International Workers’ Day.
