About this listen

 Across Sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people face daily challenges at the intersection of food, climate, and health. From losing nearly a third of harvested crops to pests and poor storage, to underserved communities struggling with access to basic healthcare — the picture can seem overwhelming. But in the midst of these challenges, innovators are rising to bridge the gaps and bring real solutions closer to the people who need them most. One of those leaders is Chiedza Mushawedu, Co-founder and Executive Director of ZimbosAbantu Healthcare on Wheels, a social enterprise delivering solar-powered mobile clinics to underserved communities in Zimbabwe. Chiedza is also a Bayer Foundation Women’s Entrepreneur Awardee 2025, recognized for her pioneering work in creating community-led, affordable healthcare solutions. On this episode, we explore her journey, the impact of ZimbosAbantu, and how women like her are reshaping Africa’s health and food security narrative.
