ABOUT US

SAWUBONA PROJECT is a Canadian Registered Charity. 

The name Sawubona Project was birthed while Jeff, Terri and Samara Mazik were living in White River, South Africa (2016-2017). Sawubona is a common Zulu greeting, which means, "We see you". 

While living in White River, The Mazik's witnessed the beauty of South Africa's landscape and her people set against a backdrop of the cruel reality of poverty. Life for the majority in South Africa is hard, painfully hard. 

Jeff and Terri asked Samara, their 9-year-old daughter a simple question, "What do you do when you see someone in need?" "You help them", she said.​

​

There are countless ways to help. Sawubona Project has chosen to invest in the lives of children, youth and young adults through Life Skills  and Pre-Employment Training.
