Recognizing that lasting change requires collective effort, RMT cultivates partnerships across community groups, civil society organisations, government, research institutions, donors, and regional bodies. These collaborations enhance learning, resource mobilization, and advocacy impact. We work with community leaders, traditional authorities, faith groups, youth networks, and development partners to create an enabling environment for social transformation, ensuring that community voices are at the heart of all initiatives
Our work is driven by the principle that genuine change begins within communities. We actively engage women, men, young people, traditional leaders, faith-based organizations, and community groups as partners in transforming social norms and practices. Through models like the Nhanga Safe Spaces, we create culturally relevant, safe environments for girls and young women to access SRHR education, mentorship, leadership development, and peer support. These spaces foster confidence, decision-making, and active participation, nurturing a new generation of community leaders and advocates for gender equality.
RMT amplifies the voices of women, children, and marginalized groups to influence policies and practices at local, national, regional, and international levels. We engage with government ministries, regional bodies like SADC and the AU, and global platforms such as the UN to promote gender equity, health, education, and violence prevention. Our evidence-based advocacy leverages research findings and community experiences to shape policies that uphold the rights of women and children, ensuring their perspectives are central in decision-making processes
Guided by community-based research, we generate and disseminate knowledge that informs our interventions and advocacy efforts. Our research captures community insights and lived realities on issues such GBV, disability inclusion, mental health, and digital safety. We produce policy briefs, operational manuals, and success stories to document lessons learned, influence policy reforms, and foster learning across sectors and regions.
We provide comprehensive services that respond to the multifaceted needs of women and girls affected by violence, health disparities, and social exclusion. Through the Rozaria Memorial Trust Education and Counselling Centre (RMT ECC), we offer emergency shelter, psychosocial support, SRHR information, legal and health referrals, digital education, leadership development, and livelihood skills—all in a safe and trusted environment
To sustain our impact, we invest in strengthening organizational governance, staff skills, and community leadership. This includes training in gender-sensitive programming, rights-based approaches, digital literacy, and climate-smart practices. We also foster community ownership by establishing advisory teams comprising traditional leaders, youth, women, and community champions to oversee and guide program implementation.
Our programming employs arts, sports, digital media, climate-smart agriculture, and livelihoods initiatives to foster resilience, social cohesion, and gender equity. These innovative approaches help reach diverse audiences, especially young women and girls, and promote active participation in social and economic life.
