Silver Linings Trust has proudly made a difference to over 145 people with Special Needs in Zimbabwe.

From our Nursery School, to Silver Linings School, then establishing the Sunshine Project for adults, and now a boarding home, we provide lifelong care and education.

Silver Linings School

Silver Linings is able to deliver effective, personalised learning in the classroom which is not only based on internationally recognised academic curricula but encompasses all aspects of the child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

Silver Linings Trust is inspired to provide its pupils and members with skills that empower them to lead lives as independently as possible.

Silver Linings Schools

We pride ourselves on our professional team of qualified and dedicated staff, the majority of whom possess degrees in Special Needs Education and have years of experience.

Sunshine Zimbabwe Project

Sunshine Zimbabwe Project provides vocational training, education and
sheltered work placement opportunities.

Sunshine Zimbabwe Project City & Guilds

City & Guilds is a global leader in skills development, providing services to training colleges like Sunshine Zimbabwe Project. The courses accommodate students with and without non-visible disabilities, ensuring an inclusive learning environment that supports diverse educational backgrounds.

Fairlie House

At Fairlie House, the well-being and comfort of our residents are our utmost priorities.

Harbour House

We intend that our residents will be accommodated in friendly surroundings, where they feel at home and comfortable with their peers.

About Silver Linings

Children and adults in Zimbabwe with mental disabilities are supported by schools such as Silver Linings but these have to be self-funded, develop a relevant and functional curriculum and provide their own resources. Silver Linings has met this challenge through its centres at Silver Linings School, Zimbabwe Sunshine Project and the City & Guilds vocational centre.

Feedback

“I would recommend Sunshine Zimbabwe City and Gilds as I got my certificates and diploma there for hospitality and reception course 1 and 2. I had an excellent teacher who know runs it called Lizz. They also do other courses like moter voices. I recommend if you don’t have O or A levels you should go there they are excellent even on sunshine side with what they do .”
