In the Mukosi area of Masvingo Rural (Ward 21), local villagers are leading a project to reclaim land degraded by deep gullies. These gullies threaten homes, roads, and arable land, while also causing siltation in the Tugwi-Mukosi Dam catchment. Working with the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the community is using practical, stone-based methods to stabilize the soil. The work includes building stone gabions, creating barriers to reduce water velocity and prevent further erosion (silt traps), and planting vetiver grass and other vegetation to hold the soil in place. The project is a collaborative effort involving Environmental Management Agency, Agritex, the Forestry Commission Zimbabwe, and the Department of Veterinary Services to combat desertification and protect the local environment. enviropresszim.com/villagers…

✨ “ _Where love meets need, hope is born_ .” Women from the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) Masvingo Women’s Fellowship visited Masvingo Provincial Hospital, sharing food, toiletries, milk and above all, love with children, including those abandoned by their mothers. 💖 Their songs and prayers filled the wards with faith and hope, reminding everyone that kindness still lives in our community. 🙏🏽💫

If one person can make a difference, what about a whole generation? Tendai Mafuka saw her community in Masvingo struggling with hunger and a changing climate. Instead of waiting, she started a youth-led movement. 📷 enviropresszim.com/youth-gro… From barren lands to clean-up campaigns and income-generating projects, her organization, SEATH, is opening new frontiers regarding what is possible when the youth take charge.
