Women’s Leadership Development Programme

Overview

At the heart of the Mlambo Education Trust is the belief that empowering women transforms communities. Our Women’s Leadership Development Programme is designed to cultivate the potential of women across Zimbabwe and the broader region by equipping them with the skills, confidence, and support networks needed to lead effectively. This programme fosters a new generation of women leaders who are bold, visionary, and deeply rooted in community values.

Designed to unleash the potential of women from all walks of life, this programme provides practical tools, robust mentorship, and transformative experiences that inspire bold, confident, and visionary leadership. Whether it’s in boardrooms, community councils, classrooms, or parliament, we are nurturing a powerful generation of women change-makers who lead with courage, compassion, and conviction.

We believe that true empowerment happens when women are not only invited to the table but are prepared and equipped to lead that table—to shape agendas, influence policies, and drive sustainable development. This programme serves as a launchpad for women’s voices, ensuring they are heard, valued, and respected in every sector of society.
