The Kapunzitsa Village Trust (KVT) Center in Malawi is catering for 15 vulnerable children who were affected by #CylcloneFreddy. Gateway fellow Daiton says, "This all began with the community meeting regularly in circle to create the future we want to see."

Reflections from the youth workshop @orapzenzele last week showed that trainees are also using these skills to record videos to apply for fellowship & scholarship programs as well as to market their businesses & social enterprises!

[Make It Grow - Zimbabwe @MakeItGrowZWE]

Here are some ways that Make it Grow trainees are applying their #skills since the video making workshops:

📸making video proposals

📸Advocacy work

📸Videos for project reporting

📸Sharing video stories of change

Some aspirations from participants: to learn this new skill of resource mobilization, to share ideas, to learn how to use basic technology to create engaging and moving videos, to share these lessons with others in the community, exploring a new way to amplify our voices & needs.

Happening now: Participatory Video Making training of 33 young people @ @orapzenzele under @CFOR_change youth engagement with the use of the @MakeItGrowZWE video making toolkit. This workshop is including youth with disabilities & it aims at making grants more accessible!

We conducted in person story exchanges with young circles in Hre & Byo for relationship building among these youth who were embarking on a year long accompaniment journey. It broke the ice & set the tone for deep & meaningful engagement.

Since it's inception in 2017, working with the youth has been a core desire in Gateway Zim. In '22 we began working more intentionally with the support of @CFOR_change & @arlene_cfor. Co-creating to utilize their skills & realize their dreams. Read more https://t.co/RYnYlDwysM

It was wonderful being in this space having generative discussions on food security and how through the @MakeItGrowZWE we have supported cohorts in creating video proposals for small grants! #itsusanditsnow

[Make It Grow - Zimbabwe @MakeItGrowZWE]

Big thanks to Zimbabwe's Food Security Cluster inviting us to talk about Make it Grow today! It was a wonderful opportunity to share our achievements and plans.

Happy International Day of The African Child. Our encouragement is not only to eliminate harmful practices but to introduce practices that foster wholistic dvt by engaging not only the minds through academic activities but their hearts through arts and their hands through play.
