A Reset Built on Fairness and Youth Leadership: Angela’s Vision.

Angela Dube, an environmentalist and Teach for Zimbabwe fellow, blends climate action and humanitarian care in the heart of Chiredzi. Her work spans from recycling projects to supporting children living with albinism to access eye care, dignity kits, and essential supplies.

For Angela, her journey into humanitarian work started with empathy shaped by witnessing girls experiencing violence, hunger, and exclusion in urban slum communities. This lived reality pushed her to take action, including running pad drives, documenting stories, and advocating for children’s needs.

From what she hears daily, youth in her community want fairness, dignity, and practical support: schools that are not hours away, hot meals to keep students in class, textbooks that aren’t shared by dozens, and play centres for early childhood learners who have never seen one.

Angela believes the Humanitarian Reset is missing something essential: A clear system showing how youth, especially those in marginalised communities, can shape decisions, budgets, and policies.

She connects strongly with the reset workstream, which calls for people at the center, because she sees how children and youth struggle with distances, hunger, and lack of materials, all problems that could be solved if local realities shaped planning.

Her message? “Your voice holds power. Don’t shrink it for systems that were not built for you.”
