Advancing disability inclusion across Manicaland through education, health, economic empowerment and community partnerships.

Who we are

Our Commitment
to Inclusion

Nzeve Deaf Centre, a registered PVO (22/2005), is an organisation of Deaf and hearing people working to promote the rights of children and youth with disabilities. Based in Mutare, in the high-density suburb of Sakubva in Manicaland Province, the Centre works closely with communities to advance inclusion and equal opportunities.

Over the years, Nzeve Deaf Centre has expanded its work from a primary focus on deaf communities to include children and adults with other disabilities. Through rehabilitation services and economic strengthening support, the organisation continues to respond to the diverse needs of persons with disabilities.

Nzeve Deaf Centre works with families and communities to foster inclusion through family-centred approaches, disability inclusion awareness and community dialogues. Its programmes reach persons with disabilities and their families across both urban and rural areas of Manicaland Province.
