 Chiredzi's Embrace: An Upbringing in the Heart of Zimbabwe In the sun-drenched landscapes of Chiredzi, Zimbabwe, my story unfolded against the backdrop of simplicity and the rhythmic beats of nature. Raised by a single mother who toiled as a farm laborer in the vast sugarcane estates of Hippo Valley,   our lives were painted with resilience and the dreams of a brighter future. In this small town, with its close-knit community, my mother's unwavering gaze held the weight of expectations – I was her only hope, the beacon to carry us beyond the horizon of financial struggle. One day, as we were eating our only excellent meal of the day, diner, mother said, "Son, adulthood isn't explained by age, but by reason." I gazed straight into her eyes, bewildered, and she responded with a comment that is still vivid in the annals of my mind thirty years later, calling for me to wake up. I had just passed my A Levels, but my mother couldn't afford to send me to univers...

Operating independently of governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are essential in tackling societal issues. There are a variety of NGOs with different sizes, missions, and scopes, with an estimated 1.5 million in the US alone. In this article, we will delve into the challenges faced by NGOs in developing countries, specifically regarding the dangers of prioritizing employee experience over innovation and the importance of embracing equal opportunity employer practices and ethical human resources ethics.

 I have often been questioned by individuals from all walks of life - professional accountants and budding ones, and the general populace - on this controversial subject. Many job adverts for accounting positions require individuals to have prior experience in managing or handling donor-funded projects or programs to be considered, and others in extreme circumstances would prefer individuals with specific experience in managing grants of specific funders like the USAID, EU,  Oxfam, Africa Aid, Norwegian Aid, and Dutch Aid to name just a few.
