Connect. Grow. Make an impact.
A global business community linking Diaspora entrepreneurs and professionals with opportunities, relationships and markets in Zimbabwe, Africa and beyond. Practical value, not simply a membership label.
The Diaspora Chapter is an international business, investment, networking and entrepreneurship community. It connects members living abroad with one another and with business opportunities, relationships and markets in Zimbabwe, Africa and the wider global marketplace.
Members should be able to build businesses, develop relationships, access relevant market information, learn from others and explore responsible opportunities for collaboration. Our promise: connect, grow and make an impact, wherever business takes you.

A connection platform for Diaspora entrepreneurs and local businesses to explore trade, referrals and collaboration.
Learning sessions and connections relating to sourcing, importing, exporting and supplier relationships.
Business education, market information and introductions to relevant professional advisers.
Structured peer learning and mentoring across locations, experience levels and sectors.
An annual virtual or in-person gathering for business learning, networking and collaboration.
A directory showcasing participating Diaspora-owned businesses and professional services.
A proposed recognition platform celebrating entrepreneurs, executives, companies and organisations.
An annual gathering bringing together Diaspora entrepreneurs, Zimbabwean business leaders, corporate partners, investors, professional advisers and other stakeholders. It could combine business conversations, networking, market insights, showcases and recognition of entrepreneurial achievement.
A starting framework. Fees, eligibility and exact benefits are being confirmed, and we will publish them here.
For professionals, aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone interested in business development. Join the networking community, monthly virtual sessions and selected training, and apply for a directory profile.
For business owners and established entrepreneurs. Everything in Associate, plus an enhanced business profile, featured promotion, business introductions and connections to suppliers and distributors.
For companies, institutions and organisations. A corporate directory profile, partnership visibility, and opportunities to support events and programmes and to offer member benefits.
Because living abroad should not cut you off from home or from the next opportunity. The Chapter gives you a global business community, a practical bridge to Zimbabwean and African customers, suppliers and partners, training and mentorship to grow internationally, and a place to be seen and celebrated, whether you are looking for a distributor in Zimbabwe, a customer abroad, or the right professional to introduce you. Introductions and directory listings are not guarantees of quality, returns or commercial success, so please do your own due diligence and take independent professional advice before any financial or commercial commitment.
If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, professional, investor or aspiring entrepreneur living in the Diaspora, we invite you to join a growing community.
Three steps: send the form, we reply within one working day, then you get plugged in.
Entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, investors and aspiring entrepreneurs living outside Zimbabwe who want to build relationships, learn and find opportunities in Zimbabwe, Africa and beyond. You do not have to be planning to return.
No. Many women in the network live abroad and want to take part, start something where they are, or look after interests in Zimbabwe. Tell us what you want to achieve and we will point you to the right people.
We do not give legal, tax or investment advice, and we do not act as your lawyer or agent. We can introduce you to registered lawyers, accountants and agents from our network. You instruct them directly, agree their fees with them before any work starts, and check every document before you pay.
No. Registering your interest costs nothing and commits you to nothing. The Diaspora Chapter membership categories are Associate, Business and Corporate Partner, and their fees are being confirmed.
Yes. Online sessions and the Online Community are open to you from anywhere. Gatherings are in person at 119 Drew Road, Chisipite, Harare, and many women plan a visit around an event.
Your name, contact details, country, what you want to achieve, the communities you are interested in and roughly when. Never amounts, account details or identity numbers.
Member spotlights, event reports, achievements and milestones, and articles on lifestyle and health. Free.
This policy explains how Proverbs 31 Women in Business Network ("Proverbs 31", "we", "us") collects, uses and protects your personal information. We are part of Nematombo Holdings and operate from 119 Drew Road, Chisipite, Harare, Zimbabwe.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with people who need it to serve you: our team and volunteers, payment providers, and service providers who help us send messages or store records, under duties of confidentiality. We may disclose information where the law requires it.
When you submit a form, your details are delivered to our team by WhatsApp or email and may be recorded in the tools our team uses to manage registrations and follow-up. Please do not send bank account details, card numbers, identity numbers or amounts of money through our forms.
We keep personal information for as long as you are a member, guest or subscriber and for a reasonable period afterwards for records and legal reasons. We then delete or anonymise it.
You may ask to see the information we hold about you, correct it, ask us to stop using it for updates, or ask us to delete it, subject to legal duties. Write to info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com. We handle personal data in line with the data protection laws of Zimbabwe.
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no online system is perfectly secure. Our services are for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
We may update this policy and will change the date below when we do. Questions: info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com or +263 78 687 9015.

These terms apply when you use this website, join Proverbs 31 Women in Business Network as a member, register for an event or take part in a programme. By doing so you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Proverbs 31 Women in Business Network is a business network for women, part of Nematombo Holdings, based at 119 Drew Road, Chisipite, Harare, Zimbabwe.
Prices are in US dollars (USD). We accept EcoCash, bank transfer and card, and online payments may be processed through a payment provider such as Paynow. Corporate members may pay by bank transfer against an invoice. We send a receipt for each payment. Please pay only to the details our team confirms to you in writing, and never to a number or account sent by someone you do not know. All sales are final, as set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Group purchases, business trips, and savings, household and business rounds are organised with suppliers, travel providers and other third parties. Each one runs under its own written terms or rules, which we share before you commit and which you must accept before you join. Where those terms differ from these terms, the specific terms apply to that activity.
You agree to follow our Code of Conduct, to give us true information, and to use our website and groups lawfully. You must not misuse our platforms, send spam, sell to members without permission or share other members' details without their consent.
Adverts and sponsor placements on our website, at our events and in our channels are arranged on terms agreed in writing for each booking. We may decline or remove any advert that is untrue, unlawful, misleading or unsuitable for our community, and the advertiser is responsible for the content of its advert and for any permissions needed to use it. Offers and discounts from sponsors, partners and advertisers are the responsibility of those businesses. We introduce members to them but are not a party to your dealings with them and do not guarantee any product, service or result.
The Proverbs 31 name, logo, website, Blog and materials belong to us or our licensors. You may share them for personal, non-commercial use with credit. You may not copy or sell them without our written permission. If you send us a testimonial, photo or story, you allow us to publish it with the name you give us, and you may withdraw that permission by writing to us.
Our training, mentorship, clinics and content share experience and general information. They are not legal, tax, financial, investment or medical advice. Take advice from a qualified professional before you make decisions in those areas.
We work hard to deliver what we promise. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss caused by events outside our control, or for the actions of other members, partners or third parties. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Our website may link to other sites and apps, such as WhatsApp and social media. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
We may update these terms and will change the date below when we do. These terms are governed by the laws of Zimbabwe, and the courts of Zimbabwe may hear any dispute. We would like to resolve concerns by talking first: info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com or +263 78 687 9015.

All sales are final. Membership fees and event tickets cannot be refunded once payment has been made, whether the reason is a change of plans, a schedule clash, a missed event or a late arrival. Please check the tier, event and date before you pay, and ask us first if anything is unclear.
You may pass your seat to another woman if you tell the team in writing before the day of the event. The seat moves to her. The payment does not come back to you.
If Proverbs 31 cancels or reschedules an event, we contact every registered guest directly and move your booking to the new date or to another Proverbs 31 event.
If you were charged twice, or paid the wrong amount because of our error or a payment system fault, tell us within seven days at info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com with your proof of payment and we will correct it.
This policy does not remove any right you have under the law that cannot be excluded.

We gather as women in business. This code applies at events, in WhatsApp groups and communities, on our social media and in every programme.
If something is not right, tell a member of the team or write to info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com. We treat reports seriously and privately. The team may warn, remove or suspend anyone who cannot follow this code, with no refund of fees or tickets.
We want every woman to take part. We aim to make this website easy to use on phones and computers, with readable text, clear headings, keyboard navigation and descriptions for key images.
At events, tell us about any access needs when you register so we can plan with you, for example seating, mobility, sight or hearing support. If you would like a Blog post in another format, such as audio, tell us and we will do our best to provide it. The photo carousel on the home page pauses when you hover over it or move to it with the keyboard, and it stays still if your device is set to reduce motion.
If you find a barrier on this website or at an event, please tell us at info@proverbs31womeninbusinessnetwork.com or on +263 78 687 9015 and we will work to fix it.
We take photos and video at events and programmes to share on our website, social media and Blog, and in reports to sponsors and partners. By attending, you agree that we may use images in which you appear for these purposes.
If you prefer not to appear, tell the team when you arrive and we will respect that. If you would like an image of you removed from our channels later, write to us and we will remove it from what we control. We cannot remove copies that others have already saved or shared.
We publish member testimonials only with the written permission of the member.
The information on this website, in our events and in our programmes is shared for general learning. It is not legal, tax, financial, investment or medical advice, and it does not take your personal circumstances into account.
This applies especially to company registration, property, funding and investment decisions, including those made by members in the diaspora. Always use a registered lawyer, accountant or financial adviser, and check every document before you sign or pay.
Testimonials describe the experience of individual members. Results vary and are not guaranteed. Member offers, partner services and adverts are provided by those businesses, not by us.
