Disaster and Environmental Management Organization (DEMO) is a Zimbabwean youth-led nonprofit organization working to protect vulnerable people and the environment in the country’s most vulnerable regions focusing on three urgent areas:

1. preventing and managing disasters,
2. protecting fragile environments from harmful activities, and
3. improving access to quality healthcare for all.

We work directly with affected communities—specifically women, youth, and other vulnerable groups—to strengthen local solutions while pushing for stronger laws and better government policies. We also support livelihood projects that help communities recover and adapt, especially where climate change or environmental damage has disrupted livelihoods. DEMO brings together local voices, national institutions, and legal tools to make sure people’s rights are respected and protected. Our work is guided by Zimbabwe’s national policies and sustainable development goals, ensuring that change is both practical and sustainable across sectors.
