2024–2026 Strategic Plan
2024–2026 Strategic Plan
Building on Strong Foundations to Expand Impact
Since 2007, ZanaAfrica has supported 250,000 adolescents with the tools to safely navigate puberty and unlock their full potential. As we step boldly into the next three years, from 2024–2026, we will fortify our mission to support the next generation and build a world where gender justice and equity thrive. Four priorities will guide our actions and amplify our impact. View our full Strategic Plan below to learn more about our initiatives and impact goals.
We extend an invitation for you to walk alongside us on this transformative journey. This is more than an invitation to support a meaningful cause; it's an opportunity to invest in the architects of a more equitable world—the countless girls whose dreams and aspirations hold the key to a brighter future.
Africa has the fastest-growing, youngest population of any continent.

A Powerful Investment: Cultivating Sustainable Change
As we embark on our journey ahead, we remain committed to the fact that community-driven solutions are the key to unlocking sustainable change.
We are committed to supporting adolescents with rights-based sexual and reproductive health and life skills education: a core, proven solution for gender equity.

Over the next three years our goal is to raise $5,000,000+ to carry out our mission.
