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).

🎉 Congratulations, Linda T. Barns! 🎉

Deaf Zimbabwe Trust congratulates Linda T. Barns on the launch of her two books, Choosing Me and A View from 50.

In Choosing Me, Linda courageously shares her journey following hearing loss and highlights an important call to action: early testing and early intervention lead to better outcomes.

We celebrate Linda for transforming her lived experience into a story that educates, inspires and raises awareness about hearing health and inclusion.

📚 Congratulations, Linda! May your story inspire many more to listen, act early and embrace every chapter of their journey.
