South Africa is suffering from the devastating legacy of apartheid, poverty and HIV. There are currently 2 million orphans, and they lack support in areas of education, healthcare and nutrition. The project will aim to solve the food shortage which occurs in many of the most deprived areas of South Africa, whilst keeping both economic and environmental costs, to a minimum. We seek not only to provide food, but to teach methods on sustainability, so that this is not just a short term solution.

Our 'Food for futures' project will seek to bring life, hope and opportunity to many local communities across South Africa. We liaise with local groups in 51 different communities to improve the lives of children. The development of food gardens is an essential and sustainable part of this work. This project will have an effect of empowering the wider community, as the improved gardening techniques will improve nutrition levels, but will also create a surplus, which can be sold on for profit.
