About FAWEZI

The Forum for African Women Educationalists Zimbabwe Chapter (FAWEZI) is a non-governmental organisation established in 1998 and registered as a private voluntary organisation in 1999. FAWEZI is an affiliate of the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE), a Pan-African Non-Governmental organisation based in Nairobi, Kenya. FAWE was founded in 1992 by five African women ministers of education — the late Hon. Vida Yeboa of Ghana, Hon. Simone de Comarmond of Seychelles, Hon. Paulette Missambo of Gabon, Hon. Dr Fay Chung of Zimbabwe, and Hon. Alice Tiendrebéogo of Burkina Faso. It was formalised and launched in September 1992 by a group numbering 19 senior African women policy-makers in education. FAWEZI is a membership organisation, drawing members from female and male educationists, as well as individuals or organisations with an interest in promoting the education of girl children.

  • Our Vision

  • Our Goal
    Empower girls and women through quality education and training to give them the necessary skills, competencies, and values to be productive members of their societies.

Our Mission

Testimonials

“I was short-tempered, and this tendency of becoming angry easily was deeply rooted in the fact that I always wanted to exercise power without any hindrances. My subsequent encounters with FAWEZI, the SASA Awareness phase training in particular moulded me into a calm person who hates negative power and its effects on the lives of people. I made a decision that my community must benefit from the change that took place in my life. I implemented the SASA! Together sessions wholeheartedly and impacted many lives in my community.
Ronny Hadebe SASA Community Champion
The intervention successfully enrolled children who have never been to school in our district. Seeing children who have never been school being taught how to read and write really touched my heart.

When we started implementing SASA! Together Sessions, it was clear that many people were not aware that they had power within them and they were suffering in silence. The continuous SASA awareness sessions have made people to be aware that they have power within and they learnt how to balance power. We recently started noticing an increase in the number of people coming to us seeking for help or to report GBV cases.

I appreciate the programme thrust of ensuring that no child is left behind in terms of education. The intervention has contributed to our efforts of ensuring that every child has the right to education.
Headman Mpofu Matobo District Schools Inspector.
The community lacked much information in connection with positive power. The community was familiarised with physical power but awareness of positive power has brought a change. Most men are now able to recognize and respect women as well as understand that they can do anything that a man can do.
