Tsungai Initiative

Tsungai is a shona word meaning ‘to persevere’, ‘to stay strong’. Tsungai Initiative is dedicated to empowering children and young people in underserved communities to recognize and overcome the effects of intergenerational trauma passed down across families, communities and environments due to exposure to ongoing everyday adversities. We equip them to break harmful cycles and lead healthier, happier lives by fostering awareness, self-expression, positive identity development, community connection, and cultural belonging. Through innovation, we help them become agents of change in their own lives and their communities.
