“We want to expand the garden and incorporate an after-school programme, hence the construction of the hall. In future we would also want to have a library so that our children can have additional studying materials at the centre,” said the headman’’
The group, consisting mostly of women, grows vegetables.
The garden is run by community members including people living positively with HIV, as well as other unemployed women and men from the village.
The centre also has plans to assist the elderly once it has been electrified.
Part of the group’s responsibility is to assist pensioners with household chores in the village.
Although the garden is flourishing it recently collapsed when it was blown away by the wind.
“But we managed to put the structure back, but our crops have wilted,” said the headman.
The project was first established in 2023 and started off as Horticulture, but because of a lack of sufficient rainfall during the last years the project could not go ahead as planned. The project was then expanded in 2024 when the group received a little donation
