Izizwe Projects is a registered non-profit organization which aims to uplift the Gqebera Township in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, also known as Walmer Township, by establishing partnerships with community groups, including Walmer High School, Walmer Primary School, and local creches. The mission of Izizwe Projects is to revitalize community-centered organizations in the township, while also providing opportunities for international volunteers to learn about Xhosa and township culture, and to teach people about their own native cultures. Since 2009, Izizwe has strengthened these community groups by providing financial assistance, and supplying volunteers from countries such as Britain, Germany, Netherlands, and the United States. Formally registered as a South African NPO in January 2012, Izizwe Projects is looking to expand its impact on the township by developing more projects, more volunteers, and more local involvement.
