About Us
Zizo Motion Pictures began as a spark of hope in the hearts of young people in Bulawayo,Zimbabwe. Emerging from Plan International’s Safe and Inclusive Cities program, the core objective was to empower the next generation to take charge of their communities and drive positive change. With a focus on responsive governance and social development, Zizo Motion was founded in 2017 and officially registered in 2021. Over the years, it has grown into a beacon of hope for young people in marginalised communities, inspiring them to use their voice,creativity and passion to create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
"Through our work, young people will gain the skills, confidence, and motivation they need to become active and engaged citizens. They will be empowered to use their voices to bring about positive change, and to play a role in creating a better future for themselves and their communities through creative arts and media technologies. At the same time, our work will help build stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive communities, by fostering greater understanding and collaboration between young people and the wider community."

Our strategic direction
Young people today are facing unprecedented challenges. They are often disengaged from their communities, disenfranchised from the civic spaces and process, and struggling to find their place in a rapidly changing world. This can lead to apathy, a sense of hopelessness, and a lack of motivation to get involved and make a difference. In addition, Public Policies and Office Bearers become unresponsive to the lived realities of Young people and their communities.
Our strategy and work as Zizo Motion Pictures will be client-oriented and stakeholder-centered, with the primary stakeholders being young people and their respective communities. We are dedicated towards ensuring that we amplify and celebrate marginalized and unheard voices and stories and, work towards promoting media, arts and creativity as tools for social development.
Our Strategic Direction, Planning and work systems are based on the McKinsey 7S Model of Organizational development.
Our understanding is that all elements of our systems should be founded on strong “shared values” that are inspired by our Mission and Vision. We seek to always engage all our stakeholders and partners in order for us to be responsive and impactful.
Our work & programming is
child and youth centered &
is made possible through collaboration with our partners
