Yananiso: Capacity building services for women and youth

Eve-olve is on a mission to transform the lives of women in Zimbabwe, creating opportunities for growth, empowerment, and connection. This December, we proudly hosted our second Professional Women’s Day event of the year under the theme: Inform, Inspire, Elevate. The event brought together an incredible panel of speakers who left the audience motivated, encouraged, and ready to take action.

Wadzanayi Phiri: Rise with Confidence
Kicking off the day, Wadzanayi Phiri shared an empowering message about overcoming fear and standing tall in the face of challenges. She emphasized the importance of authenticity, positivity, and resilience. Her words challenged women to be lifelong learners, take decisive action, and dare to dream big. Yet, her message didn’t stop at personal empowerment—she encouraged the attendees to uplift others as they rise. "Feed your mind with ideas of success, not failure," she reminded the audience, igniting a spark of hope and determination.

Faith Kanda: Wellness is the Key to Thriving
Faith Kanda, known as Coach Fay, focused on the significance of holistic well-being—physical, emotional, and beyond. She emphasized that self-care is not selfish; it is essential. Women often prioritize others, but Coach Fay reminded them to care for themselves first so they can better support their families and communities. Her secret to great well-being? Consistency. Coach Fay made the session fun and interactive by introducing her TampoLean Bounce programme guiding the attendees through an invigorating trampoline workout that had everyone energized and inspired.

Lily Chiduku: Success Against All Odds
Lily Chiduku captivated the audience with her story of resilience and reinvention. Raised in a small town by a single parent, Lily’s life was marked by challenges, but she refused to let her circumstances define her future. After losing a successful farming business with her husband, she decided to start over. At nearly 50, Lily pursued a business degree, graduated, and launched a peanut butter business that now sells a variety of nut butters in boutique stores. Her story is a testament to perseverance and determination. "Do something about your situation," she urged, inspiring the audience to take charge of their lives no matter their circumstances.

Pet Tshatedi: Graceful Dining Made Simple
To wrap up the day, Pet Tshatedi delivered a delightful and practical session on table etiquette. From setting a dinner table to serving guests with elegance, her lessons were perfectly timed for the holiday season. She left the attendees with skills they could take home and implement immediately, adding a touch of sophistication to their celebrations.

A Day of Growth and Community
The event was a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together to share knowledge, uplift one another, and grow as a community. The lessons learned were profound, practical, and inspiring, equipping attendees with tools to elevate their personal and professional lives.

At Eve-olve, we are committed to hosting events that empower women and foster resilience, creativity, and success. Together, we can continue to build a brighter future for women across Zimbabwe. Let’s inform, inspire, and elevate—because when women thrive, the world thrives.
