More Work
Impact Hub Harare also designed and built the Youth Connekt Zimbabwe website and continues to maintain it, runs the social media pages (Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) and writes the entrepreneurial and conversations blogs on the Youth Connekt Zimbabwe site. Impact Hub Harare offered 1-year free membership for the top 3 from each province and has recently extended this free membership for another year so the start-ups can continue to grow with access to a global network of entrepreneurs, mentors and investors.
