Celebrating 20 years of building resilient futures
Zoë-Life is focused on bringing wholeness to children, youth and families.
Innovating Solutions since 2004
From its beginnings as a responder to the HIV crisis, Zoë-Life has grown into a vibrant social innovation consultancy, creating impactful solutions with a global reach.
Now, we are a centre of innovation, expanding our influence beyond South Africa. Our path is defined by collaboration, technological progress, and an unwavering dedication to empowering communities and future leaders.
Pioneers in Child-Centred HIV Care
We believe in nurturing resilience in children, paving the way for a future of strength and adaptability. As pioneers, we introduced child-centred care into HIV programmes for children and adolescents in South Africa.
Our efforts span innovative interventions in primary health facilities and communities, resource development, disclosure guidelines, and extensive training and mentoring for healthcare workers delivering HIV care to children.
Our Children • Our Future
KidzAlive is a groundbreaking model of chronic care tailored specifically for children navigating the challenges of HIV, TB, and childhood trauma.
By providing training, support, and award-winning resources to healthcare workers and caregivers, KidzAlive strengthens the capacity of the entire care ecosystem surrounding these children.
As comprehensive care strategy, KidzAlive enhances treatment adherence, improves quality of life, and fundamentally can change the trajectory of children and their communities.

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders
Our Youth Development and Health Department builds upon our core value of child-centred care. By tailoring our programmes to the specific needs of young people aged 13-24 and providing a comprehensive range of services, we aim to empower them to make informed decisions, develop essential life skills, and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
