Kariyangwe is a settlement in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe and is located about 60 km south of Binga village. The settlement grew up around the Kariyangwe Mission, the first to be set up by Spanish missionaries that arrived in the country in 1949. The people are Matonga. It has a hospital powered by solar cells and now there is electricity.
The mission has its own primary school. The school and pupils are supported by an Austrian non-profit association called PFAU (http://www.pfau-verein.org/).
One kilometer away from the primary school is a High school. The area has an irrigation scheme which gets its water supply from the Lungwalaala Dam.
