The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for education and cultural relations. We connect people in Zimbabwe with people in the UK and beyond.
Among many aspirations, young people in Zimbabwe want to pursue further education, find employment, pursue a profession and start or expand a business. We help them to achieve these by building their skills, knowledge and experience.
