As Zisize in South Africa grew and acquired other, bigger funders, our UK charity’s main focus has been in contributing towards their holistic programmes that address vulnerable children’s needs for nourishment, care, early years’ stimulation and education that will give them a solid foundation on which to build a bright future. To this end funds garnered in UK in recent years, have supported Feeding Programmes, Emergency Food Parcels, Community Gardens, Boreholes, Early Childhood Development Programmes and Reading.

Zisize – The Heaton Lee Memorial Trust is based in South Wales. It incurs no overheads, so all funds raised go directly to help the South African Projects. Zisize has a large support base in South Wales, but also has supporters from all over the UK.

We believe that ‘it is better to light a candle than to complain about the dark’ and have encouraged volunteers and supporters to do whatever they can, rather than do nothing because the problems seem too big. It has funded projects which encourage people enduring difficult circumstances, to believe that they can effect positive change with a little help.

We encourage children from the poorest homes to believe that they can not only have ambition but that they can also achieve that ambition. Our aim at all times is to provide support which will result in a brighter future for the children of the ‘New’ South Africa.

Our home page collage and project pages reflect the positive results of our encouragement and supporters’ funding.
