About Us – Dzikwa Activity Centre

Dzikwa Activity Centre

Dzikwa Trust has built a multi-functional Activity Centre in 2008-2021 at # 3147 Rujeko St. DZ 1. We bought the one-acre stand from the City of Harare in 2005. Initial funding for purchasing the land came from Scottish Freemasons. We have built the following facilities: kitchen/dining hall, ICT block, children’s ablution block, office block, multi-purpose ball court, bore hole with two 5000 L water tanks and a converted 40-foot container as an IT-coding Lab. The Centre is powered with solar energy. In addition to the Government of Finland, the Australian, Japanese and Czech Embassies have funded the facilities, and children’s ablution block was funded through UNICEF Zimbabwe. Numerous private donors, from Finland and Germany, have also contributed.

In November 2021, we completed a Community Outreach & Skills Training building, funded by the Government of Japan. Capacity building and employability skills training programmes are being implemented with the assistance of the U.S. Embassy in Harare and UNICEF Zimbabwe.

The Activity Centre now
has the following facilities:
