Zizi Charida

Working in the community development space for more than 20 years Zizi Charida, Founder and CEO of Community Minds (CM) is passionate and driven when it comes to creating initiatives that bolster people power and citizen driven communities.

Community Minds was initiated and developed by Zizi, with the purpose of not just creating another community organisation, but rather a movement that would engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including children and young people, who are passionate about community solidarity and building.

As a community innovator, Zizi dedicates a lot of her time in designing innovative, out of the box solutions and programs to address community challenges and create accessible platforms for participation and inclusion for people and communities that are often isolated, marginalized or excluded.
