BACKGROUND INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ukudla Isizwe is a non-profit company, specialising in small scale vegetable tunnel projects nationwide, with easily accessible support structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our aim is to enable disadvantaged communities to start feeding themselves, to become self-sustainable and become entrepreneurs. This goal is achieved by supplying the opportunity , business knowledge and material to start their own business of growing and selling vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the process, helping beneficiaries to create employment opportunities and earning a living from feeding themselves and the community. Enabling new \u201csubsistence farmers\u201d with these tunnels, we can help them to be successful in their farming from the beginning \u2013 giving them immediate hope & motivation, but also providing food security for that region where they start farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
