Abalimi has been working in the townships for 38 years teaching people to grow their own veggies organically. Now more than ever it is important to collaborate! There are so many exciting initiatives that are happening around COVID-19, so please support where you can.
Below are some of the projects where people are working with township farmers to ensure that they have food security, income generation and suitable COVID-19 protection (hand sanitizer, soap, and masks).
Your support can contribute towards helping the community and household gardens in the Cape Flats.
