On Tuesday, 3 November, Apostolic Women Empowerment Trust, along with Miracle Missions, Clean & Green, and Forestry Commission Zimbabwe, planted an indigenous tree from the Miombo woodland, called Vachellia sieberiana, also known as Acacia sieberiana in Sam Levy village, Barrowdale, a suburb of Harare.
Treasuring the event, they posted that the “[indigenous] tree thrives in low soils and grows quickly. It is a drought-tolerant tree with long tap roots that provides good shade.”
Apostolic Women Empowerment Trust (AWET) is an Inter-Faith based, non-governmental organization that is mandated to advance the rights of Adolescents and women issues and mainstreaming of gender in Apostolic Church activities
AWET is fully cognisant of the fact that Apostolic Churches have different beliefs, norms, values and perceptions on key social issues such as Early/Child Marriage, Education, Human Immune Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), Maternal Newborn Child Health(MNCH), Gender-Based Violence(GBV) and Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights(ASRHR).
