With the harsh hot and dry conditions in the Northern Cape, intensive sheep farming brings a sustainable Agri solution.

The purpose of Enterprise Development is to get the Community economically active instead of passively depending on grants. We provide small-scale farmers with the necessary pens, chickens and food for the chickens on their own premises. This empower families to generate a sustainable income for their households.

• 10 farmers each build the pen themselves to encourage a feeling of ownership and manage 10 chicken pens. This expands to 100 farmers in the community, each managing 10 chicken pens in the first year.
• 300’000 free-range eggs will be produced per month.
• In addition, 10 of these farmers act as mentors and generate an additional income for their households.

Walk-through stands are central points in the Community where children pass in the morning on their way to school/ close to their homes. At a walk-through-stand, the children receive a high protein shake enriched with vitamins and minerals.

• 10 LSA’s is established in a Community, each with 10 children served by 1 Mentor each and managed by 1 Overseer and 1 Project Manager.
• 100 of the 1’000 children served in the Walk-throughs are put into an intensive accountability program. The most committed, those who achieve the set goals, will remain in the LSA, thus a principle of reward for hard work is established instead of the current hand-out culture. A LSA is operated from the house of a selected Hunger and Thirst Mentor. Children love playing soccer
• The Mentors are mainly Youth, aged between 19 and 35. Every day after school, these children receive a meal, Mentors assist them with homework, they partake in physical training and sport development and they receive leadership skills training through targeted mentorship. They are equipped to be future Community leaders and role-models.
• All mentors earns a volunteer fee from the Foundation and goes through a strict selection process. The ones selected are trained intensively before they become official mentors and then coached on a continual basis throughout the lifetime of the program.
