Our plans for 2024: revealed!

We've spoken to our community members, we've met as a management team, and we've mapped out our priorities. So here it is, the grand plan for 2024 revealed...

These are the key challenges being faced by our community members at the moment:

1. Food insecurity - the cost of fertiliser is at an all-time high and government subsidy fertiliser is largely inaccessible

2. Poor crop yields - the country is experiencing a prolonged dry spell that has affected the growth of crops including maize

3. Rising cases of HIV and cholera - worsening levels of poverty has led to an increase in prostitution, resulting in rising cases of HIV, and the country is also experiencing ​a widespread cholera outbreak which is linked to a lack of access to food, clean water and basic sanitation.

And this is what we plan to do to support our community members through these challenges:

Food insecurity

• Run a community training programme on how to make home based fertilisers, to help our community members to stop relying on fertiliser from the factory and start making their own using the locally available resources.
• Food pack distribution programme

Poor crop yields

• Run a community training programme on irrigation farming, to mitigate the effects of climate change

Rising cases of HIV/Cholera

• Run one HIV awareness event
• Introduce new support for our Nsageni HIV Support Group
• Run one Cholera awareness event

Alongside these focus areas, we will continue to run our village schools, our feeding programme and our other community projects, while always looking for ways to improve the sustainability of our organisation.
