Pillar 1 NETWORKING AND RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING

Understanding the interdependence of all life, we are a people-centred organisation with expertise in identifying, building and mobilising human, material and social capital. We draw together individuals, organisations and communities, and facilitate exchange of their complementary resources and talents to ensure enhanced efficiency of systems, and to generate wellbeing in our areas of impact.

Pillar 2 STRENGTHENING SYSTEMS

Societies function better with strong and sustainable systems. Zoë-Life has extensive experience in applying the principles of systems skills - not only to our specialist areas (HIV, AIDS and Sexually Transmitted disease; Parental and Child Health, Primary Health Care, Organisational Development and Psychosocial Support) but to any enterprise, be it in development, information technology, communications, education, human resources or finance. Our systems design and development services enable enhancement and integration through Monitoring and Evaluation, Quality Assurance and Improvement, innovation, and training.

Pillar 3 IMPACTING INDIVIDUALS

Societies are led and systems are driven by individuals, and social change begins with the individual. Zoë-Life strives to vitalise individuals' environments through leadership support, mentorship, team strengthening, thinking skills, care-of-the-carer interventions, and employee assistance programmes. Ensuring that our approach is always relational, we develop replicable models in-house for external application, offering project concepts and training programmes to create wider sustainable social change through individuals' self-example within their community.

Pillar 4 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

At the heart of Zoë-Life's vision and mission is an abiding awareness of marginalised humanity struggling to overcome generations of hardship and exclusion. Through multi-sectoral connection, we offer people-focused services, organisational strengthening and training to families, households and communities, public service structures, churches, schools and workplaces, street children, orphanages and inner city refugees. Our model follows a Ward-based approach by deploying Ward teams, Mobile teams, and Child and Adolescent teams to provide essential service support within communities, prioritising the poor and highly vulnerable populations. The process entails connecting community resources to augment and strengthen the collective response to its people.

To achieve our development goals, Zoë-Life:

• uses skills housed in project teams to execute activities effectively and address the needs of our stakeholders;
• manages project activities to co-ordinate the application of our own specialist skill-sets, and well as the skill-sets of partnering organisations;
• systematically develops the skill-sets of our own team and of our clients based on the project requirements, and
• packages learning for knowledge transfer and advancement among clients, partners and other stakeholder communities.
