Project Nomzamo is a unique initiative that aims to tackle the two issues that plague South Africa the most, i.e., youth unemployment & healthcare access. We are committed to facilitating change for the betterment of all South Africans, especially those who need it the most.
Project Nomzamo would like to send a huge shoutout to the SA Department of Health for their continuous and unrelenting dedication in helping us fight the battle against COVID-19 and leading us cautiously during these tumultuous times! SA Department of health, we salute you!
Nelson Mandela declared June 16th as South Africa Youth Day in 1995, & left us with this inspiring but simple message for our youth: “You were in the forefront of the liberation struggle. Today you must be in the forefront of reconstruction and development.” Happy SA Youth Day!
"I have faith in the strength and resilience of ordinary South Africans, who have proven time and time again – throughout our history – that they can rise to the challenge. We shall recover. We shall overcome. We shall prosper." - President Cyril Ramaphosa
The fight against COVID-19 is far from over, and we must continue to uphold safety measures to curb the spread of the pandemic. We encourage you all to keep wearing your masks, washing your hands, and staying at home where possible to keep you and your loved ones safe.
We at Project Nomzamo would like to extend a warm and hearty Thank You to the South African Department of Health for all their efforts in trying to improve healthcare access for all South Africans. We hope that our partnership can benefit our Rainbow Nation for years to come.
Project Nomzamo's primary goal is to increase healthcare access for all by training and employing youth to become Community Health Workers in SA. The project aims to impact both youth unemployment and healthcare access hand-in-hand for the betterment of all South Africans.
Medtronic Director Peter Mehlape speaks out about Medtronic’s interest in aligning with Project Nomzamo for the shared goal of “transforming healthcare in a way that has never been done before.”, and thus increasing healthcare access for communities that need it the most.
Due to our current state of National Lockdown, quarantine and isolation have people living in panic and despair, fearing for their lives and that of their loved ones. Let us take a moment to be grateful for the love and support we have from our families both near and far.
President Ramaphosa continues to inspire us during the lockdown period:
“There are times when we must endure hardship and difficulty so that we can enjoy freedom and prosperity in the future. We must not give up now. I am asking you to stay strong. Stay home, stay safe.”
Jacob Masimulo of the Mabhoko Village in Mpumalanga, commends our CHW Thobile's efforts in helping him improve his quality of life and that of his family. From teaching him how to obtain food parcels to accessing healthcare for his children, Jacob is grateful for her support.
