Committed to creating self-sustaining communities, Zimele Wethu Foundation (Zimele Wethu) empowers women, youth and men through a Self Help Group concept that harnesses innate gifts and talents and cultivates transformation. Equipped with 21st Century community development knowledge and skills, rural communities become agents of their own social and economic development, breaking from a dependency mindset that relies on government or NGO handouts. 

Zimele Wethu works passionately to build capacity in community people to set their own agenda for social and economic development and become self-reliant.

We as a team at Zimele Wethu, working closely with our partners in South Africa, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, are eye witnesses to the transformational power of the Self Help Group concept for the individual, household and community.
