Zoë-Life

Zoë-Life is a social innovation consultancy and nonprofit company focused on building resilient futures for children, young people, families and communities. Established in response to the HIV crisis, it pioneered child-centred HIV care in South Africa and has since expanded its work through collaboration, technology and community-based solutions.

Its KidzAlive model supports children affected by HIV, TB and childhood trauma. The programme equips healthcare workers and caregivers with training, practical resources and guidance to strengthen care, treatment adherence and children’s quality of life. Related offerings include the KidzAlive Talk Tool App, caregiver resources and courses.

For young people aged 13 to 24, YouThrive delivers youth-friendly programmes in health education, life skills, career guidance and psychosocial support, helping participants make informed choices and shape their futures. Zoë-Life Learning also provides flexible training for healthcare and social-service professionals through in-person sessions, virtual classrooms and self-paced online learning. Courses address HIV and chronic illness management, gender-based violence awareness and child protection.
