About Tree of Life Zimbabwe

The Tree of Life Trust Zimbabwe is a non-governmental organisation with a broad objective to create a healed and empowered society that puts its energy into processes of peace, recovery and reconciliation. Since 2008 we have been providing community-based mental health, social cohesion, and psychosocial support (MHPSS) approaches that help people living with difficulties to reconnect with self, nature, family and community. Aside from individual well-being, our processes have been evidenced to foster social cohesion at a large scale. Since inception, Tree of Life has reached over 213,000 people across Zimbabwe with MHPSS support.

Tree of Life (ToL) works within 8 of the 10 provinces across Zimbabwe, largely through a network of seasoned Community-based Facilitators, most of whom are survivors from various forms of life's difficulties. Having trained well over 1000 community-volunteers in various MHPSS interventions, Tree of Life is one of Zimbabwe's largest local NGO's providing community-based MHPSS services in the country. 

Tree of Life also collaborates with other Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) by providing capacity building in Trauma-Informed Care processes, as well as through the provision of Psychoeducation services and to date we have partnered with over 40 other CSOs
