Welcome Bana Bengwana Development Trust
Who we are.
Bana Bengwana Development Trust is an initiative by and for the people of Ngwana Area in rural Plumtree- Zimbabwe and beyond. The organisation was born out of the realisation by the people of Ngwana that if there was going to be any meaningful development in Ngwana area, the vision and ideas and practical steps towards that kind of development needed to be articulated in deeds and action by these same people
