Nawe Zifunze

Redefining ability through skill and opportunity

At Nawe Zifunze Disabled Association, we believe that every person—regardless of their physical or mental challenges—has a contribution to make to the South African economy. We are a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO No. 034-263-NPO) that serves as a bridge between marginalization and meaningful employment.
