School teachers and the home based care co-ordinator reaping the vegetables
KAMHLUSHWA – With the help of Sinethemba home based care in KaMhlushwa, the Matsafeni Primary School is able to feed the starving children within the community. The teachers and care workers are giving hand to the parentless children. They have grown vegetables to feed the orphaned children, but they are still faced with big challenges; there is insufficient water for irrigation, no fencing and funding for the project. “Last year we received the funding of R20 000 from the department of social services and it is not enough for feeding more than 200 children. We still have to dig from our pockets to see the project going,” said the home based care’s co-ordinator, Sindi Mlotshwa. She also mentioned that that they are in need of garden tools. The 1, 1 hectare is used to plough spinash, tomatoes and beetroots. They have divided the piece of land into two phases. One is for the vulnerable and orphaned children, while the other is for the school as a whole.
