Soil for Life and Thatu

Margery Povall heard about Soil for Life in 2006. When she visited its projects she was impressed by the dedication and scope of their work, and she and Susan Law visited again in 2007. The Trustees decided later in 2007 to fund the SFL activities in 'Touws River' for two years and in 2008 to raise funds for the 'Sibanye Food Growing Enterprise Project'.

In 2010 Thatu is supporting the Soil for Life, 'Levana Primary School Food Growing Enterprise and Home Gardening Project' in the Cape Flats.  This involves the development of a central gardening enterprise in the school, alongside four advanced training courses for the existing community and home gardeners.  A further 25 local people will also be trained and supported in order that they can develop their own sustainable home gardens.
