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).

Equality is not a favor; it’s the law.

Under Section 3.15.1 of the National Disability Policy, Zimbabwe has committed to specific standards for physical accessibility. This includes ensuring our city’s infrastructure—from the heights of our curbs to the width of our walkways—is designed for everyone.

An means a city where every citizen, regardless of ability, can navigate with dignity and independence. It’s time for our urban planning to reflect our national promises.

Help us advocate for a barrier-free capital!

Policy is only a promise until we see it on our streets.
We are advocating for an inclusive Harare where roads, sidewalks, and pathways empower everyone to move freely. Under Section 3.15.1 of the National Disability Policy, accessibility isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it is a right.

Let’s bridge the gap between paper and pavement. Support the change for a city that leaves no one behind!

Clean-Up Campaign Ahead of the Open Street Event at Newlands Shopping Centre.

In preparation for the Open Street event scheduled for 14 February 2026 at Newlands Shopping Centre, which focuses on the accessibility of streets and roads, key stakeholders participated in a Clean-Up Campaign in line with Zimbabwe’s National Clean-Up Campaign Day. The initiative aimed to promote environmental responsibility while creating a safe, accessible, and welcoming space for all community members.

Through collective action and strong partnerships, the campaign laid a solid foundation for a vibrant and inclusive Open Street experience that supports mobility, participation, and dignity for persons with disabilities and the wider community.

Deaf Zimbabwe Trust remains committed to working with partners, communities, and authorities to promote accessible, clean, and inclusive public spaces across Zimbabwe.
