The Mine to Market for Critical Minerals: Zimbabwe’s Lithium Supply and Value Chain Situational Report is now available!

Following our launch and the sharing of some of the key findings, we are excited to present the final, visually enriched edition of the report. This version brings together comprehensive insights from ZELO’s field research, covering lithium mining operations, processing facilities, transportation networks, export routes, and border posts.

The report traces the entire lithium value chain, from artisanal and small to medium and large-scale mining, highlighting Zimbabwe’s role in the global critical minerals market. With detailed analysis, this edition is a valuable resource for stakeholders across the energy, mining, and sustainability sectors.

Meet Marshal Firiminino from Makonde Ward 16

Today we shine a spotlight on Marshal, whose entrepreneurial journey began with selling Amity products. What started as a simple perfume sale quickly grew into a thriving business.

Marshal is a proud beneficiary of the S(HE) MATTERS Initiative, implemented in partnership with @hivosrosa and supported by @IrlEmbPretoria. The initiative strengthens young women and women leaders’ economic empowerment and resilience, equipping them with knowledge, skills, and tools for business leadership through mentorship and training.

Through training and mentorship, she gained the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage her business, and inspire others.

Marshal has recruited 49 young women and women to sell Amity products, empowering them while growing her own enterprise. She has paid her graduation fees, earned her driver’s license, purchased land, and is now dreaming of building a commercial complex and flagship shop for her beauty products.

Today, Marshal runs a thriving business, a shining example of how mentorship, leadership, and empowerment can transform young women’s lives.
