Daughter of the soil: One woman's dream, a continent's call

• Merck Foundation powers change in Kenya's health and education sectors

Through AFWAG, Nyahunzvi believes in investing in girl-centered organisations and leadership of women and girls.

But, she asks, "Who is supporting these organisations? Who is coming behind them? How do we walk alongside these changemakers?"

"When we support women's leadership," she says, "we don't just address one issue."

According to AFWAG, the documentary's release is timely. While progress has been made in closing education gaps across the continent, glaring gaps persist.

"Fewer than half of adolescent girls in countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania complete secondary school," the organisation notes. "These sobering statistics reinforce the urgency of investing in African women's leadership as a pathway to long-term change."

For Nyahunzvi, the message is clear: African girls deserve not just a seat at the table, but the power to build new ones.
