The story of how Shelter Zimbabwe was founded

Since 1991, Shelter Zimbabwe has stood as a beacon of vision, compassion, and innovation — redefining what dignified living means for families across Harare and its surrounding towns. We are driven by a higher purpose: to provide personalized, sustainable, and dignified spaces for both the living and the departed — because everyone deserves a place where dignity resides.

Shelter Zimbabwe was born from a shared dream: to dignify the human experience through quality shelter. Our secret is a seamless integration of local wisdom and international best practices, resulting in developments that are sustainable, community-focused, and investment-grade.

Setting New Standards in Innovative Building & Infrastructure!

At Shelter Zimbabwe, we don’t just build structures — we build sanctuaries of hope, pride, and possibility. Our work is a calling, and every home we create is a promise kept: a promise of dignity, security, and a future filled with opportunity.
