Rhondda Cynon Taff UNISON

RCT branch of UNISON supported Niki with total donations of £1500 during her first two years in South Africa. They went on to vote Zisize - The Heaton Lee Memorial Trust their charity of the year in 2001, 2002 and 2003. In 2002 their nomination of Niki for UNISON's Bob Cotton Award led to her being joint winner.

After winning the Bob Cotton Award, UNISON's Focus magazine's articles about Zisize led to individual members and branches making donations to the charity. See link below.

Charity Greetings

We are delighted to announce our new fundraising initiative that not only raises money for Zisize, but helps the environment too! We have teamed up with CharityGreetings.com, who provide an eco-friendly and charitable alternative to greeting cards. If you are going to buy a greeting card anyway, please send a Charity Greeting instead, support Zisize, and make your thought really count.

PSA Training & Development Ltd / Lumus360

PSA Training & Development / Lumus360 have become good friends of Zisize. Two of their team accompanied the DTC group in 2004, having spent a year working with them. Both have returned subsequently with members of their families to volunteer.

Goodenough College, London

Zisize's connection with Goodenough began in 2003 when an existing project in Hilton had too many volunteers, so we offered to host them. This has led to a steady stream of international volunteers and a society at Goodenough called ZSAP - Zisize South Africa Project. They organise fund raising events to cover half their airfare and living costs and the college matches this. Niki's cousin, John is a Goodenough alumnus, as is his sister Nicky's daughter, Jane.
