Ukwamukela and welcome to GEZUBUSO Projects!
Sustainable help for disadvantaged children and adults
GEZUBUSO Projects is a registered non-profit organization (NPO) based in Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa.
The name "Gezubuso" comes from the isiZulu phrase meaning "wash your face," symbolizing dignity and a renewed vision for the future.
Since our founding in 2004, we have been dedicated to creating meaningful change in the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and youth.
Our mission: Protect. Nurture. Elevate.
we live
- with love and compassion, to meet basic needs;
- through education, to provide the opportunity to live a self-dertmined life.
Over the years, our programs have evolved to address the pressing needs of communities in KZN. During the first decade of our work, the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic left many children orphaned. Today, we are faced with new challenges:
- Rising rates of substance abuse among young men and women.
- A significant increase in teenage pregnancies.
- High levels of homelessness, youth unemployment, and child neglect.
These issues are compounded by a lack of adequate support systems, making our work more critical than ever.

At GEZUBUSO Projects, we believe every child and young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Your contribution goes beyond financial support—it provides hope, confidence, and the chance for a life of dignity.
With your help, we can ensure access to essential resources like nutritious food, quality education, and safe shelter.
Together, we can give children the brighter future they deserve.
