We are a dynamic for-impact organisation committed to fostering holistic community impact in Zimbabwe.
Established in 2019 and operational since 2020, Swizimaid Trust has been dedicated to poverty alleviation, education, and health support in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. In 2021, The Nook was launched under the education support program in partnership with Project Defy. In 2024, Swizimaid Trust underwent a rebranding, now focusing on three thematic areas: Education & Entrepreneurship, Community Health & Safety, and Smart Agriculture & Sustainability.
Entrepreneurship and Education
We empower individuals with practical skills to succeed in today’s job market.
Through our Nook innovation hub, we train young people in entrepreneurship and help them start businesses for sustainable livelihoods.
We bridge the skills gap by offering hands-on training and mentorship to prepare youth for employment and self-reliance.
Community Health and Safety
We prioritize community well-being with health and safety initiatives.
Our menstrual health programs help keep girls in school and promote reproductive health.
We support single mothers and pregnant teens with resources and guidance to overcome challenges.
We assist child-headed homes so children can focus on their education without worrying about survival.
Smart Agriculture and Sustainability
We promote smart farming techniques to improve food security and income.
Our programs teach climate-smart agriculture and conservation to protect the environment and boost productivity.
By equipping farmers with knowledge and resources, we help them build sustainable livelihoods and resilience to climate change.
