My association Zen4Zulu has installed a cottage to lodge & feed volunteer doctors to treat & save on average 80 emergencies daily, mainly babies, little kids and grannies.

« 1000 Hills Community Helpers, KwaZulu » our partner, founded in 1989 by Dawn Leppan, to serve 31,000 souls, is located a mere 60 kms from Durban’s golden beaches & golf courses. It is blessed by nature but blighted by poverty and HIV/TB.

The Centre has a fully equipped Primary Health Centre, with 2 senior nurses, ambulance, home visitors, volunteer pharmacists, psychiatrist, safe house … but due to high cost relies largely on volunteer doctors to treat, and if needs be refer & transport to hospital.

The kitchen serves more than 1,200 tasty, nourishing breakfasts & lunches 5 days a week – rice, beans, chicken… freshly cooked by the voluntary valley chefs.

The Centre has also a daily crèche, toddlers inn, pre-school bustling with happy, loving infants, staffed by experienced ‘special care’ local women.

The Centre is rightly named « The House of Love » – love given & love received.

Evenings you are free to explore the local bistrots & pubs to discover the famous south african hospitality.

Weekends – a short drive to coastal villages & beaches, golf and a 3 hour drive to the amazing Game & Bird Reserves of Hluhluwe, Mfolozi, St Lucia bay…

Tempted? A working holiday, intimate contact caring for the zen Zulu valley folk, knowing that YOU are making a difference. You will love the experience of the Beloved Country.
