GARDEN OF HOPE
About E8000 a month; that’s the amount of money that each of the ten members of Sesikhulile Multi-purpose gets monthly from selling their produce – yup, you read that right!
“I pay my children’s school fees, including my relatives’. I buy them clothes and I have even installed an electric stove through the returns I get from this garden. This garden is life!” Lindiwe Dlamini, a member of Sesikhulile Multipurpose in Matsanjeni states.
Sesikhulile Multipurpose had a vision, which was to find ways in which they could curb unemployment in their community. After assenting to establishing a garden, the group of 10 members then approached World Vision Eswatini in 2019 for help. The humanitarian organisation donated fencing, seedlings (including nursery equipment) and irrigation systems, enabling the group to start officially producing vegetables (tomatoes, green mealies, etc) and fruits in 2021.
This garden boasts clients like NAMBOARD and locals.
Life has been blissful since!
