Pollsmoor Prison

In South Africa’s overcrowded prisons, where resources are stretched thin and dignity is often forgotten, the Zoe Project is making a difference. Women in these facilities face unique challenges, from poor living conditions to inadequate healthcare, and the added burden of separation from their children.

Caring for Mothers and Babies
For pregnant women and mothers with young children, we provide essential care and guidance. From prenatal education to postnatal support, we ensure that mothers and their babies receive the attention and care they need, even in challenging environments.

Restoring Dignity
In overcrowded cells, where basic hygiene is hard to maintain, the Zoe Project supplies hygiene kits and offers emotional support. These small but meaningful gestures help women feel seen, valued, and respected.

Building Skills for a Better Future
To prepare women for life beyond prison, we provide skills training and workshops. These programs empower inmates with practical abilities and the confidence to envision a brighter future.

The Zoe Project isn’t just addressing the immediate needs of women in correctional facilities; we’re helping them rebuild their lives through care, support, and opportunities.
