Take Action: Demand Human Rights Education in Our Schools

For years I have been blogging about human rights, raising awareness, and sparking conversations. But today, I am taking a step further action. On 9 November 2018 I created a petition calling on the Zimbabwe government to implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into our national education system.

The reality is alarming

According to UNESCO, nearly 40% of youth globally cannot correctly define their basic rights.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, less than 25% of secondary schools integrate human rights education into their curriculum.

Studies show that young people who are denied human rights education are twice as likely to experience exploitation, abuse, and political manipulation as adults.

This is not just a gap in knowledge, it is the deliberate breeding of a generation that is unaware, unprotected and vulnerable. A generation that will grow into adults unable to defend themselves against systemic injustices simply because they were never taught their rights.

We cannot allow this silence to continue. Human rights education is not optional it is essential.

✍🏽 Sign the petition here:

Your signature is not just support, it is a demand for change. Together, we can push the government to make human rights education a mandatory pillar of our schools and protect future generations.

The Great African Exposure Visit-My Journey 'Tyrone Havnar'`

Many young people's, learning is trapped within classroom walls, blocked by poverty, isolation, or lack of opportunity. Imagine how many dreams that NEVER saw the light of day because one child failed to attend school. Zimbabwe-Where it began I founded I Reach Out My Hand Africa (IROMHA) in 2009, thats over 14 years ago, and for all those years I have been its backbone, carrying it forward, funding it out of my own pocket and refusing to let the vision die. This work is never just a project for me; it was born from my own scars. As a child, I knew what it meant to sit at home because school fees was not paid. I knew the sting of being bright but blocked by poverty. I knew what it felt like to watch opportunities slip away simply because of circumstances beyond my control. That pain shaped me. It planted a fire in me to make sure that other children would not have to face the same struggles I did. The vision was always simple, yet powerful: Keep children in school by breaking...

Responsible Leadership

Leaders are everywhere At all corners of the globe, in all types of organizations, doing all types of work. Anyone who seeks to make the world a better place is a leader. Leaders are those who seek to make change. In politics, in business or society, leaders always find themselves at the heart of change. Leaders help people, organizations and societies navigate this change and help people find a better way to do things. One popular myth about leadership is that leaders are only the ones sitting at the top of an organization, but NO, a CEO of a major company, the president of a nation or a champion leading social change. These are all leaders, but you don’t have to have a formal title or role to be a leader. Leaders are those people who are able to influence others towards reaching a goal, completing a mission or creating new ideas. Leaders are people who institute change, influence a situation or can bring creative problem solving to existing problems. In...
