HOW WE BRING CHANGE
The Challenge
in our COMMUNITIES
The Challenges
in our COMMUNITIES
- High unemployment in Communities coupled with high transport costs from rural areas to cities gridlocks communities in poverty.
- High food costs with the local spaza shops taking advantage of this situation (charging excessive interest rates on food bought on account) has the biggest negative impact on children and the elderly in the community.
- Alcohol abuse and domestic violence is very high in the community where women and children are the victims most of the time.
- This environment leads to children not performing well in school because they have to fend for themselves from a very young age and there are very few good role models in the community.
The Solution
for our COMMUNITIES
Our Solution
bring TRANSFORMATION
- The Foundation follows a 3- tiered holistic approach where the family gets restored by rewarding the children going to school with food, setting up the ex-matriculants as life coaches and role models for the children in the community and empowering the parents by providing a sustainable economic solution so that they can provide for their own basic needs.
- The profit generated from the Foundation’s Agri development programs, involving intensive sheep farming and Chicken Pens, co-funds the Walk-through stands and LSA’s in the communities. It is therefore a self-sustainable solution.
Our Model Structure
Community Impact (per Community)
| Number of beneficiaries | Walk-through Stands | LSA’s | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children | 1’000 | 100 | 1’100 |
| Youth and Adults | 22 | 12 | 34 |
Complementary
Agri projects that can be implemented.
We provide small-scale farmers with the necessary soil, fertiliser and potato seed in order to grow potatoes in bags, again generating income for the household as the Foundation purchases the potatoes from the farmer.

How our projects
impacts farm security?
Farmers donate funding and fresh produce, which we distribute in the Communities. Through this we build a relationship in those communities, where the people understand that this is only possible through the farmers’ donations.
