She said these leaders understand what regular citizens face every day. Her words reached the First Ladies of Africa Impact and Resilience Summit through Ambassador Christian Katsande. The ambassador spoke for her at the meeting held across the ocean. Dr Mnangagwa could not attend because she had another important meeting at the same time. The First Lady attended a different gathering called the Merck Foundation First Ladies Initiative Summit. She met with 13 other First Ladies from Africa and Asia countries. People at the meeting liked her work helping communities through health care and schools. She earned respect for her media projects that help ordinary people. Her efforts as the Merck Foundation More than a Mother Ambassador impressed everyone there. Ambassador Katsande told the summit about Dr Mnangagwa's Angel of Hope Foundation back home. The foundation helps women start businesses and teaches young people new skills. It also works to keep Zimbabwe's culture alive for future generations. The group has changed lives across both countryside and city areas. Girls learn they can become business owners and scientists through these programs. The Zimbabwe Women's Microfinance Bank gives money to women who cannot borrow from regular banks. This special approach helps women create their businesses from scratch. Many women who never had access to startup money can finally chase their dreams. The foundation covers health care, education, job training, culture, environment protection, and wildlife conservation. Dr Mnangagwa asked the summit organizers to visit Zimbabwe and see Victoria Falls. [/QUOTE]
