IniNewe/ Mina Lawe Magazine
IniNewe/Mina Lawe magazine is a diverse, vibrant, relevant and empowering magazine focusing primarily on women from the low income population in Zimbabwe. Our magazine is a trailblazer in the area of femininity and empowerment of low income women, published in vernacular, with well written articles offered in a world class packaging.
The magazine is available in Shona and Ndebele languages for a wider reach of ordinary women and men. We emphasise on developmental, gender, community, inspirational, empowerment, financial and general feature stories that lead to the growth of an individual, community and a nation.
We obtain our stories mainly from visiting different parts of rural and urban Zimbabwe collecting news that we highlight in our magazine. Our writers are highly skilled in highlighting stories from the communities in a balanced and engaging manner. We believe in giving a voice to women in all parts of Zimbabwe irrespective of their race, religion or culture. We also focus on sports, entertainment and light-hearted features to offer relaxation and joy to our readers.
Readers
Our primary target is a woman from ages 16-70 who wants to get empowered and develop through reading about other women’s developmental stories obtained from Zimbabwe. We also write for men and children as these make up communities that women live in.
About Us
Ini Newe/Mina Lawe is a communication platform for communities mainly women from the low-income population situated in rural and peri-urban areas of Zimbabwe. We strive to foster development of individuals, communities and the nation through highlighting people’s lives using traditional and new media. We focus on developmental, gender, financial and general issues that lead to the growth of an individual. We believe that if a woman is developed then the whole country develops, hence our main focus is on women. Our aim is to offer inspiration to women and communities through providing stories about people in similar situations that are making it against all odds.
Through our Ini Newe/Mina Lawe communication platforms we wish to positively influence the mindset of citizens regardless of their race or tribe. Our flagship publication, Ini Newe/Mina Lawe Magazine is in Shona and Ndebele languages and it reaches every province of Zimbabwe.
