Zimbabwe Business Directory & Marketplace

Supporting visibility, opportunity, and economic participation

Across Zimbabwe, thousands of small businesses, traders, creatives, and service providers work hard every day—but remain invisible online.

Echoes of Ability is building a Zimbabwe Business Directory & Marketplace to help local businesses and entrepreneurs:

be discovered online
connect with customers, partners, and opportunities
participate more fully in the digital economy

This initiative is part of our broader commitment to inclusion, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods.

Who this is for

This directory is open to:

Small and micro-businesses
Informal traders and sole operators
Creatives and skilled professionals
Service providers and consultants
Community enterprises and social ventures

Whether you operate locally or serve clients remotely, your work deserves visibility.

Why Echoes of Ability is doing this

Economic exclusion is often a visibility problem.

Many capable people are locked out of opportunity not because they lack skill—but because they lack access to digital platforms that connect them to the wider world.

This directory is designed to:

reduce digital exclusion
support self-reliance and entrepreneurship
amplify underrepresented voices in business
create pathways to sustainable income

It is not a hand-out.
It is a platform.
