One Home, One Garden Partnership
22 Mar 2022Al-Imdaad Foundation’s Organic Community Garden has taken on a new role in the Inkosi Langalibalele Municipality to oversee and monitor Home Gardens established with support from the KZN Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs and the Department of Agriculture. The foundation is helping impart training, skills and best practices acquired since establishment of its own garden in 2014 to ensure the beneficiaries of the One Home One Garden initiative are able to graduate out of poverty. An economic model allowing the gardeners to sell produce to the Green Grocer store or where necessary, governments Bulk Buying Scheme, will also be looked at.
Rural areas in developing countries like South Africa are generally characterised by an inadequate satisfaction of basic needs which lies at the core of poverty. Basic needs are those human requirements that are necessary to make human survival and development possible in any given society.
The Al-Imdaad Foundation’s Community Garden Project is aimed at unlocking development by addressing issues of access to resources that are required for the satisfaction needs. Through this project, we aim to systematically contribute towards economic growth, community development, food security, skills transfer, empowerment, education, capacity building, job creation, strengthening of institutions and most importantly poverty alleviation.
The Al-Imdaad Foundation has partnered with the local Municipality and FNB Islamic Finance for this project in an effort to eradicate the effects of poverty in the town of Estcourt in Northern KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. The project is already making a remarkable difference in the lives of many previously disadvantaged persons.
