Hear about the impact of our projects firsthand, learn about the development challenges facing communities in Sub Saharan Africa, and have a chance to ask questions about how we collaborate with our partners to create lasting change.
We would love you to join us and our Zimbabwe partner, Community Technology Development Organisation (CTDO), at our evening events in Melbourne on Monday, 23 October or in Sydney on Thursday, 26 October.
The events are a rare opportunity for you to connect with Action on Poverty’s work in the field. You’ll hear about the impact of our projects firsthand, learn about the development challenges facing communities in Sub Saharan Africa, and have a chance to ask questions about how we collaborate with our partners to create lasting change.
Thamsanqa Khanye will be with us from CTDO to share her experiences from the field, and stories of how Australian generosity has contributed to transforming the lives of communities in rural Zimbabwe.
Our conversation with Thamsanqa will be followed by light refreshments and a chance to mingle. You’re welcome to bring a guest to the event, please advise us in your RSVP.
