Behind The Shona Project is a group of people who care deeply, and who show up fully.

We come from different backgrounds, different careers, lived experiences and ways of seeing the world. But we all have one powerful thing in common. A fire in our bellies to leave the world better than we found it.

To us, that means shaping a future where young women feel happy. Where she knows the power of her own voice. Where she is not afraid to take up space and reach her full potential, whatever that looks like for her.

Founded by Tammy Darcy in 2016, The Shona Project has grown into a community made up of the ultimate dream team, as well as an accomplished board, an incredible group of ambassadors, and a wider circle of women and men who support the work in a thousand different ways. From mentoring and guidance to encouragement, care and the occasional cup of tea and biscuit.

We’re passionate. We’re a little chaotic at times. We laugh a lot, work hard, and hold a culture that is genuinely special.

This is a team that believes deeply in young women.
And in the power of what’s possible when people come together with purpose.
