Judith Marera

Judith was born and raised in rural Zimbabwe and realised the challenges that women and children go through in search of firewood for cooking. Women and children- especially the girl child spend more time in search of firewood at the expense of other productive tasks. She founded Lanforce Trading in a bid to assist women in rural communities and end energy poverty. She is passionate about addressing energy poverty in the off-grid communities motivated by her experience as a woman. She has attended numerous trainings on renewable Energy including SACREEE, Get.Invest, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) etc. and she has also been recognized by Entrepreneurship organisations like The Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), Women in Africa Philanthropy (WIA54). Holds an Msc HRM with experience in HR and community interaction. She is currently studying for a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) courtesy of The Honoris Universities.
