Pro Africa Development Trust is a local NGO registered as a Trust in August 2000 with the aim to assist communities in Zimbabwe in prioritizing their needs in order to come up with proposals for economical viable projects and to source funding for the same.
Due to the devastating droughts of 1982, 1985 and 1992 which wiped out livestock and caused widespread food and water shortages in Matabeleland South Province of Zimbabwe, the basic needs of the rural population became compromised.
