Our organisation was recently registered as SHAPE International in June 2007 reference number MA559/2007. SHAPE employs young adults and volunteers to teach and mentor youth. It strives to develop and deliver innovative approaches to addressing Gender, reproductive health, and the HIV and AIDS pandemic; and is committed to measuring programme results in order to improve programme effectiveness.
Through training we have reached over 15 000 (fifteen thousand) university students and on making a difference in over 3 000 000 (three million) youths across the country through media campaigns and outreach programs in orphanages.

SHAPE takes a very strong gender stance, arguing that inequitable gender relations need to be transformed in order to effectively respond to the HIV epidemic. Unlike other gender programs that focus solely on empowering women, the SHAPE approach also targets men for change. It is this male component which is unique about SHAPE’s intervention |
SHAPE Zimbabwe Trust is a non-profit organization that was founded in May 2000 by 13 students studying at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare. The group saw that university students seemed oblivious to their vulnerability to HIV and AIDS, and instead of protecting themselves, were continuing to take personal risks.
