Zimbabwe Workcamps Association
Nzeve Deaf Centre is an organization for deaf and hearing people. It was formally registered in 2005 but started its work in the 90s. The organization works to promote deaf culture and the inclusion of persons with disabilities in their communities. Our vision is to see the Deaf Community valued in an inclusive society. The Centre provides hearing tests and early childhood learning classes for deaf children so that they develop sign language and social skills before they join a mainstream school. Deaf youths come to the center for vocational skills in carpentry, building, sewing, and horticulture to prepare them for independent living. Livelihoods training is provided to the parents of deaf children and youths as well as other persons with disabilities in the Manicaland province. Disability/deaf awareness occupies a greater part of Nzeve’s work so that communities are inclusive and can support persons with disabilities to live quality life.
