INTRODUCING
THE RECOVERY CENTRE
Every parent dreams of a place where their child is seen, heard, and given a chance to thrive. For many families raising children with complex autism, that place doesn’t exist — yet.
We are building Zimbabwe’s first holistic Autism Recovery Centre, a sanctuary where children will receive the support they need to heal. A place where mothers will no longer feel alone. A centre surrounded by gardens, pathways, therapy spaces, and hope.
This centre isn’t just a building.
It’s a lifeline for families drowning in fear, confusion, and exhaustion.
We’ve already secured 3 hectares of land.
Now, we urgently need to raise funds to build the centre and open our doors to the first children. Every day we wait, another child misses a critical window of development.
We cannot delay.
Too many children are suffering in silence.
Too many mothers are breaking under the weight of care.
Too many fathers are losing hope.
We’re inviting just a few compassionate hearts to step forward now — to become our Founding Circle and bring this centre to life. With your support, we will plant healing, nurture futures, and prove that recovery is possible.
Give today. Build a future. Be remembered forever.
“This is not just a donation — it’s legacy. It’s healing. It’s hope. Be one of the first 20 people to say YES to this dream.”

Nice to meet you
I am Natsayi Dunira — a mother, a Registered Naturopathic Nutritionist, and the founder of ACCTS . But above all, I am a witness to the possibility of healing.
Years ago, I stood where many parents stand today: heartbroken, exhausted, and afraid for my son’s future after he was diagnosed with severe autism. But through faith, deep research, and relentless love, I watched him transform and heal from severe complex autism. He found his voice, his joy, and his way back to us.
I turned that journey into my mission — to walk alongside other families navigating complex autism. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with hundreds of families, often remotely, with real, measurable breakthroughs. One of my most recent clients saw her child’s ATEC score drop to just 9. And we’ve never even met in person.
Can you imagine what would be possible if we had a physical space where all of this could happen — together?
Where children could receive therapy, healing foods, movement support, connection, nature, and structured love in one place?
That is the dream. That is the Autism Recovery Centre.
A place rooted in experience. Backed by evidence. Powered by hope.
This centre will be the first of its kind in Zimbabwe — a sanctuary where recovery is not only possible… it is expected.
Come build it with us.
