The 23-year-old model said she will be working with an organisation called Building Opportunities on Students Talents Entrepreneurial Action Us that runs community development programmes in local universities and many other associations.
“We are going to be conducting free-of-charge trainings that encompass etiquette issues, grooming, hygiene and self-behaviour packages among other social and moral value of life starting from the grass root level,” Chingonzo said.
“The grooming and etiquette programme will start in the capital before spreading the wings to different parts of the country like Masvingo, Bulawayo, Gweru and Bindura among other towns.”
Chingonzo said she would be doing this programme out of passion to equip the girl child [both rural and urban] with knowledge and skills for life with some experts in children issues.
“As someone who has done a grooming course, I am optimistic that the programme will have a positive impact and empower the aspiring models,” Chingonzo said.
“As part of the project I will also be working with different children’s homes across the nation to show the society that modelling conveys more than showcasing the beauty side as what many people think.”
