About CAHSZ

The community Alliance for Huamn Settlements in Zimbabwe (CAHSZ) is a non-profit, legally registered and operating in Zimbabwe as a grassroots based, membership driven social solidarity alliance of internally displaced persons (IDPs), and mobile and vulnerable populations (MVPs) collectively pursuing safe and secure migration and settlements in Zimbabwe.
CAHSZ was formed in 2016, bringing together community based organisations (CBOs), residents associations and housing cooperatives already existing in urban, peri-urban, informal settlements, resettlement areas, and ex-commercial and mining communities across Zimbabwe.
We are the leading Zimbabwean civil society organisation championing access to secure land rights, protection, reintegration and durable solutions for communities affected and/or threatened by displacements around Zimbabwe.
Although CAHSZ’s approach is grassroots and community centred, our work is national in scope, reach and impact. And because displacements, human migration, settlements and access to productive rights and resources are global issues, we welcome and thrive on partnerships and collaborations with likeminded institutions at national, regional and global levels.
