Deaf Zimbabwe Trust

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).

RAD- P Project Empowering Persons with Disabilities in Masvingo Province

Deaf Zimbabwe Trust is proud to be part of the RAD Project's efforts to amplify the voices of persons with disabilities in Masvingo Province. We're currently participating in a pivotal workshop at Clevers Hotels and Resorts in Chiredzi, alongside other key stakeholders, including Sightsavers , Federation of Organizations of Disabled People in Zimbabwe (FODPZ), and National Association of Societies for the Care of the Handicapped (NASCOH), with support from the European Union.

Masvingo Province is home to a significant number of persons with disabilities, particularly in districts like Chiredzi, Mwenezi, and Gutu, which face unique challenges due to geographic isolation, limited service delivery, and socio-economic vulnerabilities. Against this backdrop, the Government of Zimbabwe is crafting a new Persons with Disabilities Bill, expected to domesticate both the African Disability Protocol (ADP) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

This legislative reform presents a critical opportunity for persons with disabilities to shape the legal framework that will govern their lives. Through this workshop, Deaf Zimbabwe Trust and umbrella Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) in Zimbabwe are conducting structured, accessible consultations with their constituents to inform advocacy strategies and policy engagement.

The workshop brings together more than 30 diverse OPD representatives, facilitating a platform for inclusive dialogue and collective action to advance disability rights and promote inclusive development in Masvingo Province.

CONGRATULATIONS DUMISANI! 👏🎓

Today we celebrate a historic and inspiring achievement. Dumisani has officially graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work Degree – a milestone that is not only personal, but also a victory for the Deaf Community in Zimbabwe.

For the very first time, we are witnessing a Deaf person step into the professional field of Social Work, breaking barriers and proving that Deaf people can achieve greatness when given equal opportunities. This is a journey of courage, determination, and resilience against all odds.

As the Chitungwiza Deaf Community, we are filled with pride and joy. Dumisani’s success gives us hope that many more Deaf brothers and sisters will rise, follow their dreams, and become leaders, advocates, and professionals in different fields. 💪✨

Social Work is about helping people, building communities, and standing for justice. Who better to carry this mission than someone who understands the struggles of the Deaf and disability communities firsthand? Dumisani’s achievement is not just his own – it is a victory for every Deaf child who dares to dream, every Deaf student fighting for education, and every Deaf family that believes in a better tomorrow.

Let us continue to support one another, uplift each other, and work together to open more doors of education and empowerment. The future is bright when we walk together, united, and proud.

🌟 Once again, congratulations Dumisani you are a true pioneer and a shining light for the Deaf Community in Zimbabwe! 🌟
