Our Story

Wa Josiah Development Trust was born from a heartfelt desire to respond to the growing needs of underserved communities. What began as a family-led effort to support struggling households evolved into a structured organisation committed to long-term, sustainable impact.

One of our flagship initiatives is the Mazengwa Mission Hospital Project, a vision to bring accessible and quality healthcare closer to rural communities who often travel long distances for medical assistance. This project reflects our broader mission — not only to respond to immediate needs but to build lasting community infrastructure that saves lives and restores hope.

To create resilient, empowered, and self-sustaining communities where every person has access to dignity, opportunity, and wellbeing.

Our Mission
