Woza Moya is a community-based NGO located in the Ufafa Valley of rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Woza Moya works with young people in the community in an attempt to create positive, equitable and sustainable change.  Our Youth Coordinator attends a Youth Forum where he meets with other young people from all over KZN every 6 weeks.  Topics covered include Gender Based Violence, HIV and AIDS, Voluntary Counseling and Testing, Millennium Development Goals, Mental Health, Teenage Pregnancy, Careers Guidance.  After this training, the Youth Coordinator conducts Peer Education workshops in the schools throughout Ufafa.

We are also working together with Oxfam on an exciting project involving Youth and Technology; the idea is that through Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) we will be able to document the impact of our work in a more qualitative way, bringing the real stories out. This will also raise the public profile of Woza Moya.

Three young social media gatherers have already undergone training in interveiwing techniques, photography, filming video clips, scene setting and human rights issues. They are  currently learning how to edit, delete, add music, narrate and more.
