Donate
Every gift keeps a child
in the classroom
Zonke Izizwe runs on donations. There is no endowment and no government grant behind it — what comes in pays the teachers, buys the food, and keeps the lights on. Whatever you are able to give goes straight into the running of the school.

Every donation counts
There are two ways to give, and both reach the school through Outreach, Inc., who receive donations on our behalf in the United States.
Outreach, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 38-3979014), so your donation is tax-deductible in the United States and you will receive a receipt for your records.

Our biggest need right now
Help us dig a new well
Clean water is essential to daily life at the school, from preparing meals each day to handwashing and basic hygiene for 70 children. Your gift can help provide a reliable source of water the school can depend on every day. A well costs $4,000 USD.
Want your gift to go directly toward the well?
Write Zonke well in the memo line of your check donation.
