About Us

Chikukwa Ecological Land Use Organization (CELUO) is a Chimanimani based organization registered under a deed of trust with the registrar`s office in 1996 in Zimbabwe.  The initial focus of the organization was Sustainable Agriculture & Natural Resources Management which aimed at addressing environmental challenges faced by the Chikukwa community such as lack of safe drinking water, overgrazing and land degradation.   With the passage of time, the organization attracted funding from the donor community and expanded its work into different wards within the Chimanimani district.  Apart from expanding its geographical coverage in the area of Sustainable Agriculture, CELUO has grown to the extent of addressing other thematic areas such as Child Protection and Peace-building at district level.
