Christabel names her own ambition as a young woman as what drives her, more than circumstance. She is from Hwange,

living with her father and siblings; her father works as an administrator under Veterinary Services, though even that

steady income hasn't spared the family financial pressure.

Rather than let a gap in her education become a gap in her plans, she kept her studies going through online

mathematics lessons before enrolling at Ngamo. Farm and Agribusiness Management and Crop Production are her

focus now, and she is particularly skilled at the practical planting and transplanting work in the course.

On harder days she leans on prayer and quotes that keep her eyes on the bigger picture. Above all, she wants to be self

employed rather than wait for opportunity to come find her.

Christabel's ambition is to become an entrepreneur, running awareness campaigns on sustainable agricultural practice

and eventually stepping into a role as an agricultural manager.

“My dreams and ambition as a girl child motivate me to succeed. Prayer and life quotes keep me going.”

Previously at Manhandle High School. Christabel is now part of the training programme at Ngamo Vocational College and Livestock Farm.
