Deaf Zimbabwe Trust

DZT is a voluntary organization advancing the rights and interest of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing It is governed by a board and has paid staff and volunteers.

Deaf Zimbabwe Trust is a voluntary organization advancing the rights and interest of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) people in Zimbabwe. It was formed in 2012 by parents of Deaf children and began operations as registered Trust in 2013. Initially the organisation was formed to advance the rights of Deaf children. After wide consultation, the leadership of DZT realised that Deaf adults had a lot of challenges and very little was being done to help them achieve their potential. As a result of this realisation, Deaf Zimbabwe Trust reconfigured its activities to include all the Deaf in Zimbabwe. DZT is a member of National Association of Societies for the Care of the Handicapped (NASCOH), Education Coalition of Zimbabwe (ECOZI) and the Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children (ZNCWC).

Workshop Report: Improving Accessible Transportation Systems in Harare

Today, Deaf Zimbabwe Trust and The City of Harare convened a strategic engagement meeting with key stakeholders to discuss improving accessible transportation systems in Harare. The workshop, brought together representatives from the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, and Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs).

The meeting aimed to present the project's goals and objectives, foster a coordinated approach to disability-inclusive transport planning, and provide a platform for persons with disabilities to share their experiences and recommendations.

Key discussions centered on the current state of inclusive transport in Harare, accessibility barriers, and potential collaborations between ministries, local authorities, and OPDs. Participants explored successful examples of accessible transport initiatives and identified opportunities for technical assistance to enhance disability-inclusive mobility.

The workshop achieved significant outcomes, including documenting and prioritizing specific transport barriers affecting persons with disabilities in Harare, outlining key accessibility challenges, and agreeing on next steps, and potential resource opportunities. A follow-up meeting will follow after stakeholder mapping to enhance the conversation around accessible transport systems in Harare.

This initiative marks a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable Harare, where persons with disabilities can actively participate in all aspects of community life.

Today marks Day 5 of the International Week of the Deaf, focusing on the crucial theme of "Recognition of National Sign Languages". The legal recognition of national sign languages is fundamental to upholding the rights of deaf people, as mandated by Article 21 of the UNCRPD. By officially recognizing and implementing national sign languages across all areas of life, governments can ensure deaf individuals' active participation in society, fostering inclusivity and equality. Let's advocate for the legal recognition of national sign languages to empower deaf communities worldwide.
