Community worker Ruwedza Road
“Now that cars can travel to our village, I saw the opportunity to open a tuckshop and sell groceries in the village using the money I am making working on this road with UNOPS,” Juliet Tsarara, community worker (aged 58)
Borehole rehabilitation
“Our boreholes are being rehabilitated as promised through the solarisation programme by our partner UNOPS. We also received a perimeter fence that is 4.1km long. I want to thank our donor World Bank because the lives of those who are working at the scheme have now changed for good. FAO also came with inputs for farmers since we had lost everything after the cyclone.” Lovemore Mboko, Maunganidze Irrigation Scheme Chairperson.
Disability inclusion
“I managed to buy my first phone and also food for my aunt. UNOPS was the first organisation to recognise me as a human capable of earning a living,” Takarindwa Gari
Childcare facilities
“I feel very important when my role as a mother is recognised and I can also work at the same time,” Thandiwe, one of the mothers who works at Bwerudza Irrigation Scheme
