Nzeve Deaf Centre |
| 背景 |
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. |
| 仕事内容 |
This program facilitates extra-curricular activities for children and youth through a child center which supports those who need it most. The idea of the Centre is to provide educational and recreational services to children and youth who are deaf. The center also addresses issues of child abuse among other challenges as it is a safe home to deliberate and receive support from Volunteers work together with representatives of the Protection Committee. At the Centre, volunteers have an opportunity to engage in indoor and outdoor play games with the youths who occasionally visit the Centre for play. It is basically an opportunity for international volunteers to appreciate initiatives around safeguarding the rights of children and youths who are differently enabled |

Accommodation is provided in a choice or either a host family or at centre. At a host family, volunteers could immerse themselves into the real Zimbabwean culture and day to day life as they live in, eat and participate in host family activities. These host families are carefully selected based on a critical criterion to ensure basic comfort for our volunteers. Food: Basic meals will be provided from what is locally available in the local community. Volunteers are therefore advised to be flexible and open-minded. This will make it easy for them to negotiate their entry into the community |
