President Mnangagwa plans to start a Presidential Youth Fund across Zimbabwe. This money will help young people begin businesses, learn new skills, and add value to the country's economy. The program comes after the success of a similar fund that helped veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation struggle. Dr. Paul Tungwarara, who advises the President directly, will manage the launch of this new program.
Dr. Tungwarara explained that they first saw great results with the War Veterans Fund, and young citizens come next on their list. He mentioned that women will receive a similar program later, matching the President's promise that everyone deserves attention. Dr. Tungwarara stated that millions of dollars will flow to young Zimbabweans through a system where money keeps circulating back to help more people.
Young people across Zimbabwe are excited about the fund. Tafara Munonde, who runs a small business in Highfield, Harare, believes this money solves a major problem. He pointed out that many young people cannot find jobs, making starting businesses their best option—but they lack money to begin. Agnes Muzondo, age 27, makes clothes at Nyika Growth Point in Bikita and hopes to expand with better equipment.
The program will send money to all ten provinces in Zimbabwe, making sure young people from every area can apply. This fund represents part of President Mnangagwa's larger plan to strengthen young citizens and build economic growth. The timing matches perfectly with recent Youth Day celebrations, highlighting how much the government values its younger population. The administration clearly wants to create chances for young people to succeed through financial support for new businesses and education.
