The UN75 Program Youth Engagement Dialogue running under the theme ” The UN we need, the Future we want”, was hosted at the United Nations Information Centre on 18February 2020. ZUNA Club members from both High Schools and Universities attended to share their views.

ZUNA launched the Waste Transfer Centre that ran under the ‘From Waste to Cash” Initiative. Special mention goes to the Kingdom of Netherlands Embassy, The Ministry of Local Government and the Dzivarasekwa community and municipality.

In March 2019, Zimbabwe was shocked by one of the most horrific natural disasters to ever hit Africa which was Cyclone Idai leaving thousands desperate for various needs. ZUNA answered the pleas of the Chimanimani people who were desperate for humanitarian aid. ZUNA partnered with AquaPlus an Indian company involved in the manufacturing of water filters and WASH equipment and sent down a team to Chimanimani to donate water filters which were installed at a school and a clinic an donated Chlorine tablets. ZUNA also did a needs assessment which was featured in the NANGO monthly newspaper which helped shed some more light on the desperate situation of the Chimanimani people. ZUNA has however not forgotten the Chimanimani people and is planning on sending another team down with bucket filters to different households to help with clean drinking water. The Indian team also took some time before their return to India while hosting a WASH training workshop for the ZUNA High School Patrons.

ZUNA hosted the GAC on their Cape-Cairo trip spreading awareness and engaging the youth on SDGs using Art. It was a wonderful experience and the sharing of cultures through arts and culture was beautiful.

The BKG Campaign continued this time teaming up with up with the ZRP Victim Friendly Unit to help educate High School Pupils on their sexual rights and what to do when such rights are violated violently. ZUNA would like to thank Glen view 1 High School for hosting this training.
