Zenzele (do it by yourself) creates a bridge between women living
in poverty to the services that they are entitled to receive from the
public sector and the services they qualify to obtain from the public
sector, which they have not reached yet due to lack of knowledge,
psychosocial support, and bureaucratic barriers. The work of Zenzele
facilitators is to bring the existing services and their rights to their
attention and show them the path to obtain them for themselves,
thus reinforcing their agency and fostering their self–empowerment.
Our process entails an active accompaniment from the point of goal
setting to the achievement of the landmarks established in a set
period of three years, after which the Zenzele team exits the area.
