Zimbabwe Project Trust is a Zimbabwean Non-Governmental Organization, established in London in 1978 by some exiled Zimbabweans with support from many clerics and missionaries of various structures within the Catholic Church. Special mention goes to the Catholic Institute for International Relations that assisted the organization to access funding. ZimPro, at that time, acted as an information center for the liberation war including supporting non-combatants outside Zimbabwe. After independence, it opened offices in Harare and Bulawayo and commenced activities 1981, working with returning refugees, demobilized ex-combatants and other disadvantaged groups and individuals. Priority was given to ensuring smooth integration into society, which it di through its various humanitarian programmes. In the late 1980s, its work took a major shift from a channel for emergency and humanitarian aid by blending its activities with development work. In order to remain relevant, organizational transformation continued by responding to emerging issues and community needs in the country.
 
To date, ZimPro's existence is attributed to its response to the ever-changing Zimbabwean context, thereby significantly complimenting government efforts of promoting socio-economic growth and development. Over the years, ZimPro gained valuable experience working with clubs/groups, co-operatives, communities and individuals on aspects of social grants, microfinance, emergency response, rehabilitation, social protection, food security, livelihoods, community mobilization & leadership training, water & sanitation, public health & hygiene, environmental management and advocacy.
