Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth and Impact
As 2024 comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on a year filled with milestones and valuable lessons. This year has been transformative, presenting incredible opportunities to grow, connect, and make a tangible difference. Through my website, fungaindemera.org, I’ve shared my journey and connected with individuals and organisations committed to innovation, healthcare, and community empowerment. Here’s a look at what we accomplished in 2024 and what lies ahead in 2025.
Key Achievements in 2024
Championing Innovation and Advocacy
This year, I had the privilege of speaking and having meetings with over 48 GP practices and participating in more than 87 meetings. These engagements were an opportunity to advocate for healthcare transformation and address persistent inequalities in the system.
Pioneering AI-Driven Digital Solutions
One of the highlights of 2024 was the project leading the delivery of the CheckUp Health GP practice foundation solution. This initiative, aimed at successfully developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), tested and integrated with NHSE Spine systems, meeting interoperability requirements as a cloud-first primary healthcare foundation solution. This achievement was a significant milestone in compliance, clinical assurance, and capability development delivery at the NHSE level.
Empowering Brands Through Mentorship: The Ndasenda-Pay Launch Story
Supporting the FN Software Solutions team, I played an integral role in mentoring the team in the launch of Ndasenda-Pay. This groundbreaking platform simplifies access to financial and merchant services for civil servants and pensioners in Zimbabwe. The product launch event, which featured a TikTok dance competition, was a standout moment, showcasing the platform’s innovative spirit while engaging the community. This year also saw major strides in user adoption and building strong partnerships, solidifying Ndasenda-Pay’s reputation as a leading financial facilitator.
Making a Personal Connection Through TikTok
A personal highlight was sharing a TikTok video about how I support my mum in her daily life. The video went viral, resonating with thousands and sparking meaningful discussions about caregiving and family support. Check it out here.
Community-Driven Projects
I remained deeply committed to projects that address societal challenges, including improving financial access and fostering economic inclusion for underrepresented communities.
Thought Leadership and Engagement
Through blog posts and articles, I tackled essential topics like healthcare innovation and sustainability. These pieces resonated widely, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, further establishing a connection with an engaged audience.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As I look forward to 2025, my vision is clear: building on the momentum of this year to drive even greater impact. Here’s what’s in store:
Scaling the GP Practice Foundation Solution
The goal is to expand this solution to serve more GP practices, with a target of reaching 24 by the end of 2025. Fundraising, regional scaling, and strategic marketing will be critical to this effort.
Growing My Network
Plans include building stronger partnerships with other ecosystems to enhance my platform’s impact.
Content Creation and Community Engagement
I aim to enrich the content on fungaindemera.org, Instagram, and Linkedin with actionable insights and inspiring stories. Deepening connections with my readers will remain a priority.
Strengthening Collaborations
Building partnerships with like-minded organisations and individuals will be vital to amplifying the impact of these projects. Collaboration remains at the heart of everything I do.
Driving Impact Through Innovation and Equity
I am deeply committed to addressing inequalities by investing in and exploring innovative solutions to global challenges. My efforts are guided by a passion for creating impact, particularly in areas that resonate with the causes I hold dear—health equity, economic empowerment, and inclusive opportunities.
In 2025, I will continue to focus on learning and contributing, ensuring that my personal and professional growth aligns with driving meaningful change. By sharing insights and fostering collaboration, I aim to inspire action within the broader community.
This commitment is closely linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being – Advocating for equitable access to quality healthcare.
Goal 5: Gender Equality – Empowering women and ensuring equal opportunities in all aspects of life.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – Promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth for all.
Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities – Addressing disparities within and among countries.
Entrepreneurship Support programs
Entrepreneurship is a powerful vehicle for innovation and change, and through Dreamblazers Academy, I am committed to fostering a new generation of visionary entrepreneurs. By providing mentorship, resources, and guidance, the Academy empowers aspiring business leaders to overcome challenges, develop sustainable ventures, and create meaningful impact in their communities. This initiative aligns closely with my passion for addressing inequalities by unlocking economic opportunities and nurturing diverse talents. Through Dreamblazers Academy, I aim to inspire entrepreneurial growth while contributing to personal and professional development, furthering global progress in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
Through these efforts, I aim to build a legacy of impact and transformation, driving both personal fulfilment and professional excellence.
Gratitude
None of these achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support of my network. Whether you’ve read my blogs, attended events, or partnered on projects, your encouragement has meant the world to me.
