Queen's Young Leaders stories: Tanyaradzwa Daringo

2015 Queen's Young Leader Tanyaradzwa is a co-founder of Her Liberty Namibia, which focuses on giving young women confidence in all aspects of their lives.

Tanyaradzwa is a co-founder of Her Liberty Namibia, which focuses on giving young women confidence in all aspects of their lives.

She is also launching the MiChange project to give girls a second chance of resitting their final-year exams. Tanyaradzwa’s goal is to build self-confidence in young women and give them a greater voice in Namibia and Southern Africa.

​In 2015 Tanyaradzwa received her award from The Queen at Buckingham Palace, as part of a residential week in the UK.

Tanyaradzwa and the other Queen's Young Leaders went on to spend two days in Cambridge, where they took part in sessions to improve their leadership, fundraising and networking skills.

After returning to London the young people visited some of the city’s top businesses, including Standard Chartered, Nesta and the Royal Society to learn more about the way they work. They also got the chance to meet other young people at a number of Comic Relief-funded projects.
