Onward Chironda, a Women Deliver Young Leader from Zimbabwe, was awarded a $5,000 Women Deliver seed grant, made possible by Johnson & Johnson, to implement his project entitled “Girls Choose.” The Girls Choose project is aimed at raising awareness on child, early and forced marriages as well as creating an enabling environment for the elimination of child, early and forced marriages in Masvingo Urban and Chivi Districts of Masvingo, Zimbabwe. The project seeks to empower young girls to influence policy makers and stakeholders in their constituencies to enact and enforce laws against child marriage.
