Every child deserves a safe place to grow, learn, and simply be a child — a belief that drives Nokuthula Heath’s work at Zoë-Life in Durban, South Africa.
Through Zoë-Life’s community-led health model, Nokuthula supports children living with HIV and tuberculosis (TB) while also addressing childhood trauma. By combining health care, psychosocial support, and education, Zoë-Life helps children and families navigate complex health challenges with dignity and care.
Founded in Durban, Zoë-Life is a powerful example of how local leadership can transform health outcomes for children. As ONE’s Futuremaker, Nokuthula demonstrates how investing in community-driven health care strengthens health systems and creates safer, healthier futures for children and their families.
