The Organisation of Rural Associations for Progress (ORAP) exists to fight all forms of poverty, principally among the rural communities of women,men and youth through the empowerment of people by facilitating their development in their cultural context. ORAP envisions empowered grassroots communities free of hunger and poverty, where the disadvantaged communities of women, men and youth should draw up their own plans and uplift themselves relying mainly on their own intellect and available resources. The philosophy revolves around the core concept of Zenzele, which stems from the African saying "Akusimuntu ongasimuntu walutho"​ - "There is nobody who has no purpose”. Zenzele is thus a development process of self-discovery and self-mobilization administered by the self—not solely for the benefit of self but also for the development of others. This concept guides and threads through everything that ORAP does and is evident everywhere and anywhere ORAP operates.
