Access to education facilities is inadequate in sub-Saharan Africa. And women and girls there face greater disadvantages. They are often denied education as customs dictate they marry early and have children.
Two Zimbabwean academics plan to open a university to help African women whose education was interrupted by either family commitments or financial constraints. The university will initially be in Harare, but will be relocated to Marondera, 80 kilometres east. The academics, Hope Sadza, former deputy commissioner of Zimbabwe’s Public Service Commission and Fay Chung, former Minister of Education, are to open the university this month. It will initially have 400 students.
Students will be split into groups of 100 and placed in one of four faculties: social science, agriculture, environmental studies or science and technology. The university is for women aged 25 or older.
The need for a university for women is more acute in Africa, where women are the poorest and most disadvantaged. When they do have access to education they often must endure sexual harassment. Most women drop out because they lack educational materials or the schools are inaccessible.
"In Africa, women till the land and produce the bulk of the food, yet they have no understanding about marketing, ’ Sadza said. "Agriculture is another area where we can empower women."
The university will have a 285-hectare farm and courses will include agricultural production and marketing.
Women account for 80 per cent of Africa’s agricultural production, but have no control over either the resources or policies.
The university since August has raised about Z $32. 5 million (US $591, 000) in donations and pledges. The university will be open to students from across Africa. It will be the second women’s university—after Sudan’s Ahfad University—in Africa.
