"Women often find it difficult to apportion resources towards their own education because more often than not they put their needs at the bottom, whilst they care for their families."

"Her passion and determination to empower women attracted organisations like Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), which became the biggest funder for technical support."

"A mixture of driven personality and deep seated passion to assist the marginalised and a conviction to serve, further strengthened her determination to establish the institution,whatever the cost."

"Her heart has always bled for those women whose backgrounds have contributed to their exclusion in the academic arena, whose culture made preference for investment in the boy-child whilst relegating the vulnerable girl child to a school dropout, early marriage and rearing of the family."

"It takes time to bridge the education gap between man and women. Our mandate was to reduce gender disparities where the boy child goes to school and the girl child is married off."

"The role is to educate the whole of Zimbabwe not only the girl child. The advantage of an educated woman is that they become a power in society and there is no way they will raise uneducated children."
