Skills developments
Communal vegetables gardens were established our centre, and families of children enrolled in the scheme are encouraged to work in the gardens and learn skills that enable them to start their own small veggie patch at home.
We work with youth and adolescents to build resilience, knowledge and life skills to support their entry into the world of work.
We work with youth and adolescents to develop resilience and life skills. Adolescent girls are encouraged to make healthy choices about relationships, self-discipline, responsibility and independence.

Nutrition
This is the first and most critical need of any child born into poverty and deprivation.
Without adequate nutrition there can be no growth and development – physically or mentally. Hungry children lack the energy to learn. And if they aren’t able to learn in the vital early development years, they remain stunted for life.
By identifying children at risk – and enrolling them in our feeding programmes promptly – Zandla Zempatho Enhle plays a vital role in saving children from a life-long disadvantage. We monitor the child’s health and provide referrals to partner institutions where necessary.
Care for the Care-Giver
We support the child’s family in the home – ensuring food security, encouraging self-sufficiency through skills development, and providing psycho-social support and access to services such as grants. The child’s wellbeing is closely monitored.
Since children grow up within a family, it’s important for parents and other care givers to be included in our programmes.
Zandla Zempatho Enhle staff visit children’s homes and provide support for family members through psycho-social counselling and access to services such as grants. Unemployed adults are encouraged to join our skills development programmes, to learn income generating skills such as food gardening, sewing, beading and baking. We also provide health and nutrition education.
Early Learning & Stimulation
All children are curious and enquiring by nature, as they strive to explore and understand the world around them. For the disadvantaged child, however, opportunities to discover concepts such as shapes, distance, colours, music, matching and building are severely limited.
By providing educational toys and equipment to develop both fine and large motor skills, ZANDLA ZEMPATHO ENHLEencourages children’s curiosity and instills a lifelong love of learning that prepares them to enter the formal education system on the same level as their more fortunate peers.
