Zisize Educational Trust

Zisize began operations in as a single project (a Teachers’ Resource Centre) in Ingwavuma, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Its purpose was to improve the quality of education for children by providing educators with the necessary tools to do their job. It soon became apparent that education in Ingwavuma needed a far more holistic approach, as so many factors impacted on children’s ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach. Over the past two decades it has developed projects which focus on the ‘whole’ child, as well as maintaining its original aim to improve educational standards. Although a small charity (NPO), Zisize Educational Trust is making big differences to the lives of children in need of care and protection and their families
