Adopt a Garden - Ekukhanyeni Relief Project

Ekukhanyeni - Home of Light and Hope - is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization supported by World Empowerment Foundation. Ekukhanyeni is based out of South Africa and focuses on community upliftment in two poverty stricken informal settlements close to Johannesburg. In partnership with the local communities, this project supports some 600 vulnerable children by creating self-sustaining communities through its green and holistic design approach to community development. Through its numerous sustainable technologies and lifestyles education, Ekukhanyeni is helping the adults in these impoverished zones to achieve (and sustain) food and nutrition security alongside providing effective early childhood care in ways which do not negatively affect natural resources and benefits human attitudinal and cultural systems in a positive manner.

Adopt a Garden

An eco-friendly permaculture program has been set up to promote and encourage good permaculture practices for producing food, managing health, nutrition and natural resources. Environmental awareness education and conservation is at the heart of this approach. An established central network of daycare centers utilizes permaculture design to enable toxin free and naturally grown food, herb and medicinal garden systems. Representatives from each daycare center have been identified and trained to implement and sustain these garden systems at their centers which provides added nutrition to the children’s daily needs.

Make a monthly payment of $5-$25 (or more) to help provide seeds, supplies and permaculture education for the adults in these informal settlements.
