Hello, Welcome to Mwanangu~Mntanami
Mwanangu~Mntanami is a concept that was birthed from my experiences as a potential mom, expecting mom, and finally mother to two amazing human beings, right here in Zimbabwe. I had an expectation of what my journey would or should have been, however, the lived experience took me down a different path. I found so many information, service, and access gaps. Frustration to say the least, was a precursor to nearly every avenue it took. Most importantly, I had very little control or access to what I felt I wanted as a mom.
​
It is from this experience that I pondered, I am the only one to have experienced this? After speaking to friends and family who traveled the same path, I came to realize I was not alone in my misfortunes.
​
As a result, since my first pregnancy, I have embarked on an amazing journey to bridge the gaps in information, service provision and access to services to ensure that other families choose the maternity experience they want.
​
On my blog, I will share my personal experiences and those of my friends who are willing. I will also be featuring different service providers, debunking myths, and providing proper guidance on how to manage a pregnancy in Zimbabwe. It's all about blooming where we are planted.
​
Thank you for coming to spend time with us.
