The Pre-school children in a rural area of KwaZulu Natal face food poverty and the realities of Climate Change.

               We want to start them off on their Growing Journey

Help us to help the children and their teachers to create their own vegetable gardens in this deprived rural area of South Africa. There are now over 60 pre-schools in the area which Devon Centocow Link has supported over 20  years  and the teachers tell us that their children are hungry. The pre-schools in this area are mostly unfunded and for the few that receive funding it is a meagre allowance and does not cover the costs of food. The pre-schools are scattered across a wide area of the countryside where there are no made-up roads and no easy access to other community facilities.

We have already raised £2500. Jane and Esther need to raise £2000 in order to roll out this project in KwaZulu-Natal and make this story come to fruition. 

         Please help us to help these children to grow their own food.

1737725051_school_1.jpgThis pre-school is typical of the 65 pre-schools in the area. Most have an outside area which can easily be cultivated with  a sustainable permaculture approach which has been practiced in schools in other localities in the province. We will use the expertise of Food and Trees for Africa,

We are raising money for a charitable cause that is very important to us so please donate and help me reach our target.
