The first nutrition garden of Mahenye has been a real success in allowing around fifty women to grow vegetables and ensure better nutrition diversity and security for their families. In addition, surplus vegetables are sold to the nearby Chilo Gorge Lodge which conservation track record and commitment to local communities is unequaled in Southern Africa and personalized by Clive Stockil, visionary and emblematic conservationist. Thanks to our friend Clive who is also considered as an elder by the Mahenye community, we are in very close touch with the women of Mahenye.
Recently, Mahenye women expressed the need to develop a second nutrition garden in another section of the village, building up on the success of this first project. The funds secured through your support will enable to empower further the Shangaan women of Mahenye – a community who has always lived with a profound understanding of wildlife and the unique ecosystem of Gonarezhou National Park – the Place of the Elephants.
