Who enrolls in the Shona Proficiency programs?
Children (6-18 years)
We teach the children of Zimbabweans living in the diaspora using a curriculum adapted to their age.
The curriculum includes : reading, listening, speaking and writing lessons. In addition, children are encouraged to speak Shona at home with their parents or in class with other children.
Zimbabwean diaspora
2nd and 3rd generation immigrants born in the Zimbabwean diaspora suffers from not being able to communicate in the language of their parents. Often when they want to learn Shona, they sometimes face mockery and other form of emotional abuse that lead to discouragement and abandonment. We understand their needs and we are equipped to satisfy them based on our successful experience.
