Sisonke Project is a youth-led and inclusive initiative that envisions a healthy planet and a sustainable future that is both just and equitable for Zimbabweans.

Our Objectives 1.

To lobby for the enactment of the climate action act in Zimbabwe by participating in climate policy negotiations. 8. To improve each citizen's environmental rights as outlined in Zimbabwe's Constitution by developing strategies that thwart the triple planetary crisis. 9.
