THE LAST MILE, OUR FIRST PRIORITY
We go where no one else will go – beyond the tarred roads to forgotten communities – bringing integrated and proactive maternal and child health, education, and psychosocial services at household level.
OUR WORK
“If it takes a village to raise a child – then it takes a healthy village to raise a healthy, thriving child” – Gqibelo Dandala, Executive Director One to One Africa
Enable is our integrated community-based model designed to strengthen families, protect children, and build resilient communities.
Behind the natural beauty of the villages we serve lies deep poverty — and remarkable resilience. We believe local women are best placed to drive lasting change in their communities.
Through our peer-led approach, we recruit, train, and support Mentor Mothers who provide door-to-door care and health education. They prevent and address maternal and child health challenges — including HIV, TB, nutrition, sex education, and vaccine access — bringing trusted support and hope to every household they reach.

OUR PROGRAMMES
Enable is not a single programme — it is a connected system of support. It works by surrounding women, children, adolescents, and families with coordinated health, psychosocial, educational, and economic interventions delivered directly in their communities.
Enable is built on three core principles:
• Proximity – Services are delivered where families live.
• Continuity – Support follows families across life stages.
• Integration – Health, development, and economic empowerment are connected, not fragmented.
Through Enable, we move beyond isolated interventions — we build pathways of care, opportunity, and long-term resilience.
