You Can Stop a Tragedy Before It Starts
Together, We’re Making Choking Prevention a
Community Standard.
From Loss to Legacy: This Is ZaZa’s Story
In 2024, Zaire “ZaZa” Bwoga’s life was cut short by a choking incident — a preventable event that changed his family and community forever.
From this loss grew a mission: to ensure every family has the tools and knowledge to respond when seconds matter. ZaZa’s Legacy was created to raise awareness, deliver education, and install life-saving devices where they’re needed most.
Because choking leaves no time to prepare, our communities can be ready.
ZaZa’s story continues to guide this movement. His life is honoured not only in memory but in action — a call for families, schools, and communities everywhere to be prepared. Every LifeVac installed, every training delivered, and every conversation shared is part of a promise: that his legacy creates safety and change for others.
From Risk to Response: How We Take Action
Identify High-Risk Areas
We work with schools, councils, and community hubs to locate the places where choking risk is highest.
Install Life-Saving Tools
We place LifeVac devices alongside AEDs and educate staff on how to respond fast in an emergency.
Empower with Awareness
Through storytelling, campaigns, and community training, we make choking prevention public knowledge.

Our Key Initiatives
These initiatives form the foundation of ZaZa's Legacy — each one designed to prevent choking deaths, support grieving families, and build safer, more informed communities as we grow our impact across Australia.
School & Council Partnerships
Installing LifeVac devices and CPR signage in key community locations to increase emergency preparedness and public confidence in choking response.
The Awareness Toolkit
Delivering educational posters, videos, and parent-ready safety resources that drive behaviour change through clarity and consistency — right where it matters.
Policy & Legislative Reform
Advocating for mandatory choking hazard warnings on high-risk foods — creating a safer future through system-level change.
Grief Support & Bereavement Care
Providing trauma-informed pathways for families and carers — including peer networks, counselling referrals, and support resources.
Therapeutic Retreats for Grieving Families
Hosting healing-focused camps and experiences that reduce trauma and rebuild resilience for children and families navigating loss.
Expanding Australia-Wide
Scaling our impact by connecting with more councils, schools, and communities — working toward a future where choking prevention is visible and accessible nationwide.
City by City, We’re Changing What’s Possible
Councils On Board
These local councils have officially joined the movement to make choking prevention standard in public spaces.
In Progress
These councils are reviewing proposals or are currently in talks. Community voices can help move them forward.
Real Stories, Real Change
Behind every device placed is a life protected — and a story worth sharing.
“I never knew anti-choking devices existed before this — and I’ve worked in healthcare for over 20 years. That alone says how much awareness is needed.”
— Rebecca Pizzey, Nurse & Councillor
“LifeVac should be everywhere. I didn’t even know it existed until it was too late — now I can’t stop seeing how many lives it could save.”
— Andrea Clemente, Treasurer
“We lost ZaZa to something that could’ve been prevented. That’s why I’ll fight to make LifeVac available in every community.”
— Brian Bwoga, Founder
ZaZa’s Law: Clear Warnings, Safer Kids
Grapes pose a well-documented choking risk for young children, yet Australia has no mandatory national warning labels.
ZaZa’s Law calls for plain-language warnings on grape packaging and clear in-store signage, so parents and carers can make quick, informed choices when seconds matter.
Add your name to back evidence-based labelling that helps prevent choking and keeps families informed. In honour of ZaZa, let’s make safety guidance visible where it counts — on the pack and in the aisle.
