Nyaradzo 'Nyari' Mashayamombe

A girl child rights Activist, Nyaradzo 'Nyari' Mashayamombe started off as a Gospel singer who sang also about Women's Issues. She has had vast experience in the issues of girl children and women, having grown up herself rural and marginalized. She is the Founder and current Executive Director of the organization called Tag a Life International(TaLI), an organization that exists 'To make the World a Safe Place for the Girl children' with the inclusion of all. The organization seeks to challenge the status-quo of the girl children in the country and region where gaps exists between the treaties the country has signed concerning its commitment to the equality and rights of women, against what is actually on the ground. In Zimbabwe girls are raped, abused and harmed every second, she has used her musical influences to reach to masses through grassroots, Media and Press.

Born on the 18th of March 1980 in the Shurugwi, Rural Zimbabwe; she attended her primary school in the rural areas as well as the greater part of her Secondary education. In-spite of the difficulties she faced as a child and a girl enduring long distances of education, she went beyond all odds to finish her secondary education. She grew up to become a Gospel Singer in her Country, Zimbabwe. After being afforded a Private Secretary Diploma, she realized she did not want to be a secretary but to be the boss. She studied marketing with the Institute of Marketing Management in South Africa, and then People Management/Human Resources with the Institute of People Management in Zimbabwe among many courses she took. She rose through the ranks from working for the Power Parastatal to venturing into the NGOs and discovering her passion for girls many years ago.
