Our Story

Born from the personal journey of our founder, Michael Masunda, and co-founder McDonald Munganasa, DYANZ emerged to bridge the gap in advocacy, education, and empowerment for youths with disabilities. Growing up in rural Zimbabwe, Michael faced immense challenges that fueled a passion for inclusive development. Dyanz first registered under Zimbabwe Youth Council in 2020 and then registered as a PVO in April 2023.
