Dumisani Nyoni - Zimele Institute

Uploaded by socialedge on Jun 25, 2008
Dumisani Nyoni, Director of the Zimele Institute in Zimbabwe, tells Global X how he is rebuilding the structure of schools to allow teachers to do their job.
With the help of US-based children, he provides pens, paper and books to schools catering to rural communities: "It's like a carpenter who has a tree but has no tools to make furniture."
Zimele means "to be able to stand on your own." Dumisani Nyoni chose that name because he realized that the main difference between children living in the developing world and those living in developed countries is access to opportunities.
"Children in Africa have the same mental opportunities as children in America. We want to make sure that our schools are factories of opportunities, factories of hope!"
Since becoming an Ashoka Fellow, Dumisani Nyoni has also been working with older people, "to mix the energy of youth with the wisdom of age."
