About Zimbabwe Visually Impaired Economic Empowerment Organization (ZVIEEO)
ZVIEEO is a registered Private Voluntary Organization founded by a passionate team of visually impaired individuals and advocates. What began as a small virtual support group has grown into a national movement committed to changing lives through economic empowerment, access to assistive devices, and disability advocacy. Our values — equality, respect, honesty, and dignity — guide everything we do.
At ZVIEEO, we are driven by a powerful mission — to improve the quality of life for people with visual impairments and their families across Zimbabwe. Through advocacy, education, and sustainable empowerment programs, we create opportunities that build independence, dignity, and self-sufficiency. Together, we’re building a world where no one is left behind.
