The Usawa Institute is a brand dedicated to creating a more equitable future. With a focus on empowering women and girls, they offer a range of programs and initiatives that enhance economic and social status, improve employment prospects, and promote gender equality.

One of their flagship programs is Girls Speak Out (GSO), a coding, media, and advocacy after-school training program for girls aged 14 to 24 in urban communities across Zimbabwe. They also offer Power Classes 4 Women (PC4W), a capacity-building program designed for women running small community-based businesses and organizations. Their Community Leadership Program (#USAWACLP) is a 10-week practical and authentic approach to leading and managing sustainable non-profit organizations and social impact businesses.

The Usawa Institute also supports the development of female-run social-impact businesses and grassroots community-based non-profit ventures, helping them to be sustainable and grow. They provide advocacy and research with a feminist perspective to advocate against discriminatory laws and policies, while contributing to the strengthening of gender equality legislation.
