About Us
MTC EDUCATE A Girl INC. (MTC) is a non-profit organization started by a girl to support other girls. MTC operates in rural and peri-urban areas of Zimbabwe. We support girls’ and women living in rural communities through innovative initiatives that promote education, health, girls' sports participation, and entrepreneurship. Our lead operations are located in the village of Nhedziwa, Chimanimani, in the Manicaland Province, and in Mhondoro-Ngezi, Mashonaland West Province.
MTC is constructing the MTC Study Center, which houses the only community library in the Chimanimani District. We boast of one of the largest grassroots girls' soccer programs in the district. We invest in community activities in the Chimanimani District, and actively engage in advocacy and policy-influencing work at the national, regional, and global levels through the Founder's involvement with the United Nations Generation Equality Forum.
Our Vision

- Offer counseling and support to girls and women recovering from the effects of Cyclone Idai in eastern Zimbabwe.
- Encourage girls to participate in traditionally male sports, like soccer, while excelling in school
- Provide support and resources needed to stay in school and participate in sports
Our work
MTC Educate A Girl Foundation provides girls in rural Zimbabwe with the opportunity to continue their education and participate in sports. The girls are presented with tuition, uniforms, supplies, sanitary products and anything else they need to be successful.
Many girls are financially unable to attend school and may miss months at a time. Cyclone Idai also passed through their community, causing massive damage and casualties. The girls in these areas need our help more than ever!
COVID-19 presented more challenges as cases of gender based violence, child marriages and teen pregnancies skyrocketed. MTC interventions became an essential service during the pandemic-induced lockdowns, as we work closely with law enforcement and child protection services to rescue teens from religious, traditional, and poverty-driven child marriages.
