Gudza Ramuka, Zimbabwe

Recognising the immense potential created when working with groups that are often marginalised such as women and children, Gudza Ramuka will continue to work together with the intentional focus of integrating the whole community. They will maintain their regular meetings to plan and develop strategies together, actively ensuring all voices are heard. The community acknowledges that women and children may not have had the much share of the power but they have been much more dependable and persistent in their efforts. Bringing the strength of diversity also to the ecological elements, they will continue to diversify their production systems: seeds, crops, trees, and animals. They are more aware of what each element brings into the system. Additionally, by localising their food system, they will be able to rely more on what is under their control.
