Mukuwapasi Children's Centre

The Mukuwapasi Children's Centre was established in 1952 by missionaries Guy and Clinton Brook, later merging into the now renowned Jairos Jiri Association. Originally founded as a branch of the Association, the Centre has been a pivotal institution in advocating for Persons with disabilities. The late Mr. Jairos Jiri M.B.E M.A (Hon), along with the late Mrs. Margaret Chiwandamira and others, laid the foundation for the Centre's operations, which focused on rehabilitating Persons with disabilities (CWDs) as early as 1950.

Situated in St Faith's Communal Land, 13 kilometres from Rusape Town in Zimbabwe, the Centre operates as a registered welfare organization under the Welfare Organisation Act of 1966, bearing the registration number W.O 327/68. With a maximum capacity to accommodate 100 children, the Centre currently enrols 71 children from various regions across the country. The dormitory space utilized by the nurses is currently limiting further expansion of enrolment at the Centre.

The main focus of the Centre is to provide children and youths with diverse disabilities the chance to receive educational instruction from Early Childhood Development to Form 6 at St Faith's Primary and High Schools. Additionally, the Centre remains dedicated to its mission of rehabilitating Persons with disabilities (CWDs) residing both within the Centre and in the wider community through the implementation of outreach programs.
