Rodney Gutu, Zimbabwe

Rodney Gutu is an Electrical Engineer, who studied at the University of Zimbabwe from 2017-2022. During the course of his studies, he engaged in a lot of Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights programs under SAYWHAT Organisation in a bid to raise awareness with regards to fellow peers’ sexual health. His main areas of focus were on HIV prevention, navigating stigmatization and responding to questions regarding sexual health that many peers felt awkward to engage with their friends and family. As of current, he is still very active in his community in a fight against drug abuse by formulating creative ways to curb the increasing use of harmful substances amongst the youth. He is also passionate about computers, sports and art and believes these can be used as tools to empower the youth to make a difference in their communities and not let adversity take away the potential that the youth possess to do big things!
