About Basilwizi

Basilwizi is a non-profit advocacy and community development organisation formed in 2000 in response to the expressed needs of the Tonga and Korekore people. 

The organisation's head office is located in the medium density suburbs of Bulawayo, the second largest city of Zimbabwe. Our projects aim to assist the Zambezi Valley rural communities in 4 districts named below in Zimbabwe who were relocated (and continue to live to this date in the valley) to improve the quality of their lives. The projects being implemented include:

• Health - HIV & AIDS
• Education
• Community Development Projects
• Gender and Development

We provide the above mentioned project activities in four districts of Zimbabwe, namely:

• Binga
• Gokwe North
• Hwange East
• Nyaminyami

Basilwizi's strength is it board and staff; most of them also from the affected districts and also that the establishment of Basilwizi was an expressed need by the Tonga and Korekore people themselves. We also work in close partnership with International Agencies such as NAWISA,IRN, UNDP and RFL, Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) or Indigenous Organisations such as Binga Craft Centre, The BaTonga Museum and Silveira House. Private Sector and Donor organisations such as HIVOS, GGF and MS Zimbabwe that work with related to large dam projects and development projects. Basilwizi will continue to expand current programmes with funding being made available, and where there is a felt need, develop new ones in line with its vision and objectives.
