Nick Zemura was born in Murewa, Zimbabwe. His mother, Lillian, was a schoolteacher and community organizer. Mr. Zemura attended Seke Teacher’s College under the auspices of the University of Zimbabwe, and then earned a scholarship to study at George Washington University in the US. After teaching in Maryland and Washington, DC public schools, Mr. Zemura founded Mirazvo Productions Multimedia, a HD movie production company based in the US, with offices in Harare and Canada.

Lillian Watson Values (LWV), founded by Mr. Zemura in 2011, continues the work of his parents, who provided financial support to many local children so that they could complete their educations. In Zimbabwe the students are charged exorbitant fees, but the schools have become dilapidated eyesores, and the teacher’s are de-motivated and the education system has become a major let down. LWV seeks to address and alleviate these problems so that the students can attain an education and have options. LWV will raise funds for educational purposes in Africa, implement programs to raise student achievement, pay fees to fund education, bridge the gap between Africa and the West so students can have opportunities, and promote growth through self empowerment programs (agriculture, fashion design, bricklaying, woodwork). LWV will offer student financial assistance, infrastructure building and maintenance, leadership and counseling, and motivation and success group seminars.
