My greatest dream

My greatest dream is to see a Zimbabwe well developed, progressive and democratic.

As a young person i would like to offer my contribution to this dream.

to that effect i would like to mobilise young people who are entrepreneuaral minded to cultivate, nurture and execute our entrepreneurships and innovations.

For a start I would like to establish a network of university and college entrepreneurs clubs around state and private institutions. The pilot project shall be at the University of Zimbabwe which is the oldest and probably biggest institution of higher learning in the country where i also am a student. After its success here the project shall be extended to other institutions before its developed into a full time trust and public organisation.

We are expecting to work with like minded individuals, corporates, NGOs, government departments and other interested parties. 

The initial stages pending official registration for the club are already in progress and scouting for patrons and trustees in also in progress.

We are also inviting interested corporate managers, government officials, students, academics and the general public to support our noble cause.

The future of our country is in the development of entrepreneurial minded people and for us ypung people are not only the future of Zimbabwe but the very gist of its human capital which often remains neglected.

The purpose of this club is to show how young people especially college students can economically contirbute to the developement of Zimbabwe given the neccessary business nurturing, exposure and support.

It is disheartening to note that mcuh of the world's academic carricullum does not include things like financial literacy, entrepreneurship and innovativeness skills when research shows that development of such skills is important to the development of nations.

Universities are a good platform to intill innovativeness, business mindedness, money consciousness and entrepreneurship as reflected by today's successes of businesses born at colleges.

After all in Zimbabwe there is little hope for employment and it makes more sense to support new and upcoming entrepreneurships. After all the whole world seems to be recognising the importance of SMEs as the hope for new innovations and economic dispansation. It is funny to not that the West seems to be doing much more to cultivate intrepreneurship amoung young people as well as suporting SMEs than needy developing countries like Zimbabwe.

We need to take decisive action if the future of our younger generations and country is to be secured
