The Cardiff-based Nsingo, who has already won several awards this year, scooped her most recent piece of silverware at Manchester’s Midland Hotel on September 21. She was rewarded in the category, Positive Role Model for Gender, for her role with girls in Wales and Sub-Sahara Africa, through her Keep Girls In School Campaign The campaign has seen her sponsor a number of underprivileged African girls, especially from her Zimbabwean rural home of Insiza, Matabeleland South, through paying their school fees and buying them basic goods.
Nsingo told The Zimbabwean this week that the awards inspire her to carry on the work she is doing.
“I feel honoured to be recognised for doing what I love and this goes to show that when you educate a girl, you educate the whole village and when you educate a woman you educate the whole nation,” said Nsingo. “Knowledge is power and we should all strive to keep our girls in school. I therefore, urge more progressive people to come forward and join this campaign.”
Nsingo is one of the few Diaspora-based Zimbabwean women to have used their underprivileged backgrounds as a pillar to make good their societies, even spreading her wings to South Africa and Europe.
The National Diversity Awards celebrate individuals, community organisations and companies from a grass-roots level, for their selfless hard work on a day to day basis.
