Hundreds of millions of people around the world are unemployed or underemployed – a situation made far worse by the COVID19 pandemic with some estimates putting global job losses at roughly half a billion people.

These people are stuck where they are – geographically, economically, financially and mentally and they struggle to see a way out of their current situation.

NZIRA = “the path from one place to another” from the Shona language spoken in Zimbabwe - also commonly used colloquially to refer to “your destiny“.

There are many paths to take to move forward towards a more financially secure future – one of which is to become a self employed entrepreneur – if only more people had an idea of the opportunities available to them and where to start as (sadly) this isn’t something taught at school!

The Internet provides access to a global marketplace of billions of people in all but the remotest areas of the planet providing more entrepreneurship opportunity than ever before in history. It also gives us a way to rapidly share ideas, advice and instruction, democratising access to education and the collective knowledge of all humanity.

nzira is a “Social Enterprise” / not-for-profit initiative. We are not a registered charity, but we do not do this to make any money for ourselves – we are doing it on a “pay-it-forward” basis, devoting our own time and money and relying on volunteer contributors and organisations to share content and resources.

We are on a mission to share advice and stories of the opportunites, successes and failures of those who have taken these different paths, in order to help more people find a way out of their current situation.

Please feel free to contact us if you are able to help in any way.
