“She is revising further for her exams.”
The value of girls’ education in particular is reflected within Zimbabwean society in the value of lobola (bridewealth), which puts a discrete financial value on a girl when she marries. Lobola takes into account not only her health (expected future work and bearing children) but also her level of education. Though feminists in the West might be horrified at the concept of monetising a young lady, women in Zimbabwe strongly support it as giving themselves value.
Levels of female education correlate strongly with reduced family sizes. Therefore, educating a girl benefits not only her and, later on, her children, but also helps to reduce population growth.
This glorious bright green stone is verdite, a very hard and expensive semi-precious stone. It is much prized by Zimbabwean sculptors for its beautiful deep green colour.
