Gezubuso Projects - Pietermaritzburg

GEZUBUSO has been formed to bring resources to disadvantaged and impoverished men, women and children in the areas in which they live.

The focus will be on assisting children and youth to reach their full potential in what ever way Gezubuso is able. These resources can be human, financial, skills development, capacity building, education, training and any other which will meet the needs which are brought to the attention of the organisation by the members of the communities in which Gezubuso operates, and such needs which Gezubuso is able to meet.

“Gezubuso”

GEZUBUSO is the Zulu word for “wash your face” and was taken from one of the areas the project operates. We aim to help men, women and children to regain, retain and respect their own dignity and worth and we do this

by enabling them to do things for themselves.

Motivation

The organisation was established in January 2004, the primary aim being to work in the rural areas in KwaZulu Natal and teach men, women and youth about HIV and AIDS.

Only after a few months we realised that the communities in which we were working required more than what we were giving and we were forced to re-evaluate our aims and objectives in order to work with the communities, doing what they needed and what we could afford with our available human and financial resources.

Gezubuso Projects is a non government, non-profit organisation: Reg No: 033-191NPO
