- Latwell Nyangu

TWENTY-YEAR-OLD entreprene­ur, Tanatswa Dindimanga, says her mission is to empower over 300 000 vulnerable children by 2030.

She is the the founder of Organicall­y You and has been helping orphans and underprivi­leged children through her foundation.

“I was in Mashonalan­d East donating school uniforms, school shoes, socks and stationery to female primary students in celebratio­n of the Internatio­nal Women’s Day.

“We are also supporting young female students in schools in line with Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals 4 and 5, which is ensuring quality education and gender equality.

“The reason why I have always wanted to support and empower young kids is because I believe that given the right tools and guidance young people can make it happen.

“I believe young people have the power to do anything they want and they are the future leaders.

“Young people can change the world and, through my foundation, I want to empower young kids and teenagers through supporting

their education and also teaching them about how to start and run a business.”

She added:

“If kids are interested in something, even though that might seem silly to you, don’t shoot them down by telling them that their dreams are just dreams and that they need to look for something else to dream about.

“Let’s give young people a chance, they are the next CEOs.

“My dream is to support 300 000 vulnerable young kids in all the 10 provinces of the country by 2030 and by God’s grace l have hope that this dream is achievable.

“I pray that God gives me strength, wisdom and ability to keep using my foundation as a great tool to help the vulnerable in my society.

“As children grow, they have different aspiration­s and dreams, they need support and belief from someone in order to have confidence in their dreams.”
