ZANE is pioneering a model for the redevelopment and regeneration of communities who are currently in crisis. As a result, lives are being transformed as people are enabled to become self-sufficient. The targeted elderly people are those on local pensions, or in some cases, without pensions at all. They will have lived in Zimbabwe most or all of their lives and may well have been part of the war effort in World War ll. Their pensions and savings will have diminished to such an extent that they can no longer afford to live and many receive no (or very little) assistance from their relatives. Some in fact have been abandoned by relatives who have now moved country and have no more to do with them whatsoever. There are many in these categories in the retirement homes. Because of the ravages of hyper-inflation the management personnel of the homes are facing an endless series of crises and many of them are now near to breaking point. They are unable to buy essential items such as bread, meat, eggs or milk and neither can they carry out essential repairs on their homes. Further, they cannot regularly buy petrol, diesel, lavatory paper, shampoo, soap, toothpaste or cleaning materials. ZANE is working with the homes to keep them open.

Zisize began operations in 1999 as a single project (a Teachers’ Resource Centre) in Ingwavuma, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa. Over the past nine years it has developed projects which focus on the 'whole' child as well as maintaining its original aim to improve educational standards. Although a small charity (NPO) it is making big differences to the lives of orphans and vulnerable children and the schools they attend. Zisize means 'help yourself'. This Zulu word was chosen as it is a true reflection of the charity's aims and ethos. It encourages those who use the organisation to no longer be part of the problems that face this impoverished area, but rather to be part of the solution towards a brighter future. Our aim at all times is to provide support which will result in a brighter future for Ingwavuma's children in the New South Africa.

ZOA Refugee Care is an international relief organisation dedicated to supporting refugees and internally displaced persons in Africa and Asia. The countries where ZOA works have a history of conflict and violence that left much of the physical and social infrastructure non-functional or dysfunctional, thus seriously weakening the capacity of the social centerfield and the executive local government systems. Because of these typical circumstances, especially in countries where ZOA expects to be for an extended period, ZOA often needs to conduct activities and projects for which local organisations or authorities have insufficient means. At the same time, ZOA aims to increase the capacity of local counterpart organisations, enabling ZOA to cease operational involvement over time.

Daniel Elber, a successful businessman on sabbatical on Bali in 2003, wanted to hear it from the beggar women themselves. They are from the Muntigunung region in the north of Bali. There is little water there—not enough for drinking, not enough for crops or to keep a cow. The men have no work. As a consequence, hundreds of women with their children regularly go the tourist areas to beg. The children carry water to the villages in marches lasting hours. A study commissioned by Daniel Elber confirmed that a functioning rainwater collection system is the only solution for Muntigunung. "I became fired up," he said. He set himself a goal: "I want that all these women’s children can attend school as soon as possible." Future for Children was born. We are enabling people to take their development into their own hands. Help for self-help!
