Micro-farming among the poor Cape Town

Dear GlobalGiving Friends , recently we assisted a new community garden in a place called Louwville. All the people who wanted the community garden are unemployed. The area where they wanted their garden was a complete desert. It took a few months but in the end they have produced their first crops.

I wanted to share the before and after pics with you which will also appear on the front page of the next newsletter, so you are getting a preview.

We trust that the Louwville community gardeners will go from strength to strength.

Hope you like the pics and are as inspired as we are by them.

Best regards

Rob Small

Dear Global Giving Friends

I hope this finds you all well.

Please take a look at our new website for news and views in and around Abalimi on www.abailimi.org.za . Also our instagram account @abalimi_bezekhaya.

We are very much on the move in different ways , engaging our supporters and farmers and building bridges between- for instance take a look at our recent activities on Mandela day. Hopefully you will feel included and inspired  by visiting these sites.

The Abalimi movement is growing, with approximately 800-1000 new farmers every year. Training new farmers goes on apace, with new training courses all planned for the rest of the year ahead

Best regards and thank you once again for your generous and loyal support.

Rob Small
