Domestic Placement Agency
Domestic Placement Agency
From concept to Zimbabwe's trusted domestic placement agency
Our journey began with a simple idea that has grown into Zimbabwe's premier domestic placement agency. Here's our story of growth, resilience, and commitment to transforming domestic work.
Our concept originated in 2009, informed by comprehensive research on similar organizations in South Africa. This foundational research laid the groundwork for our establishment, studying successful models of domestic worker placement and professionalization.
The organization was established in 2012 with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between domestic workers and families through professional, ethical placement services. Founded by a first-time mother who experienced the challenges of finding reliable domestic help firsthand.
September 22, 2013: Our organization officially registered with the Ministry of Labour in Zimbabwe, marking a significant milestone in our journey to formalize domestic work placement.
First Office: Our inaugural office was situated at No. 4 Partimah House, Eastlea, Harare. However, the Eastlea offices closed down later in 2013 and the company temporarily stopped full-time operations.
Following the closure of the Eastlea office in 2013, operations continued on a part-time basis from Daventry House, Harare. This transitional phase spanned five years, from 2013 to 2018. During this time, we refined our processes and built our reputation through quality placements.
The company was registered with the Company Registrar as a Private Business Corporation (PBC), establishing our formal corporate structure and enhancing our operational capacity.
March 2018: We established a new office at No. 219 Herbert Chitepo, Harare, where the company resumed full-time operations. This was our full-time home for the next 3 years as the company continued to grow and expand its services across Harare.
During this period, we developed our comprehensive recruitment and placement processes, focusing on quality assurance and client satisfaction.
March 2021: We formed a strategic partnership with the Domestic Workers Association of Zimbabwe (DWAZ), culminating in the launch of a larger office at No. 25 Marlborough, Harare.
