Our Story

Elevation Zimbabwe was founded by Tendai Carlton Saunyama and Rachel Takavarasha Saunyama in 2012. Youth interventions are prescribed with minimal consideration of the recipient’s aftermath. Elevation Zimbabwe was founded with the hope of bridging the daily experiences of an individual. To create an environment where young people can share, where the individual will be able to help themselves, where they will help each other, where experience will be a motivator and no one will judge the other for mistakes but offer a hand to ensure they move on. Elevation Zimbabwe seeks to offer a non-academic dynamic, unique and constantly evolving training programme; mainstreaming life skills and leadership activities to young people in Manicaland and beyond. These skills will formulate a supportive frame to the individual’s academic ability, with a fun and fellowship spirit.
