Canada gives Zim funding for women, girls education

The Canadian government, through Care Canada, has committed $9,4 million to strengthen the education of adolescent girls and young women (aged 12 to 22 years) in Zimbabwe.

The project, that will run from 2019-23, will target to break down socio-economic barriers that prohibit girls from attaining secondary education or training and their successful transition to adulthood.

Canadian minister of International Development and minister for Women and Gender Equality, Maryam Monsef, said capitalising on educating women and girls is
effective and valuable.
