Poverty Alleviation Trust

We kicked off Quarter 1 in Chipinge, Mahenye Ward 29 and Tongogara Refugee Settlement facilitating critical conversations on protection where they are needed most

This goal is to ensure that young women from crisis affected communities are driving their own protection, protection of their rights in crisis is prioritised and appropriately resourced

Mahenye Dialogue Calls for Reform

On 21 April 2026, Poverty Alleviation Trust joined CRRT, Green Institute Trust, YETT, ActionAid Zimbabwe, Chipinge RDC, and PYCD at Mahenye Primary School for a Safe Space Dialogue.

The meeting came after the Lisungwe floods, which exposed gaps in disaster preparedness. Communities stressed that rescue alone is not enough—Zimbabwe’s Civil Protection Act must be modernized to prioritize women’s protection, rapid response, and resilience-building.

📻 Community radios were highlighted as lifelines for early warnings and amplifying grassroots voices. Together, civil society, government, and traditional leaders united to call for stronger laws and partnerships to protect vulnerable groups.
