Nearly 30,000 young Zimbabweans have been empowered with entrepreneurial skills to set up and run their own businesses through the Zim Works project. Zim Works is pioneered by the International Youth Foundation and supported by Uk Aid, Sweden Sveridge and USAID. Thousands of young people, of which 60% are women, receive business skills training and the international youth foundation also provides packages for these young people to receive access to finance.
