At Higherlife Foundation, we believe in the power of people. That people have unlimited potential to transform their communities, and ultimately, their nations.
That’s why we invest in people – from students and teachers, to farmers and entrepreneurs. We work to build thriving communities, one person at a time.
And we need your help. Because we envision digital solutions at the center of our work, giving the people we serve the tools they need to transform their communities.
Imagine an app that brings volunteers together in their common goal to support distressed communities.
Or a platform that connects like-minded entrepreneurs across Zimbabwe who are passionate about farming.
Our digital learning platform – Ruzivo – is transforming how students learn and we want to take it to the next level, with help from talented developers like you.
The possibilities are endless, because we have a bold vision.
A vision that sees Zimbabwe becoming a middle-income country by 2050, through sustained investments in education, health, entrepreneurship, rural transformation, and women’s empowerment.
A vision that puts technology at the center, with the support of creative and talented software developers like you, who believe in the power of technology to transform societies.
