Thanda > Organic Farming

Imagine a world where food shopping is as simple as walking into your garden and grabbing what you need or trading with a neighbour. Imagine having your own chickens for eggs, or goats and pigs for dairy and meat. Imagine being able to earn a living off the soil beneath your feet. This is the world we are building around Thanda.

Our Organic Farming Programme, which involves 175 farmers daily, is reducing food insecurity & malnutrition, building self-reliance among cash-dependent communities, and encouraging local enterprise development.

Self-Empowerment Workshops

We believe farming is primarily about the farmer. That is why we strengthen self-esteem, critical thinking, and empathy skills amongst farmers too.

Training & Mentoring

Develops the technical skills necessary to start & maintain an organic farm, and provides daily mentoring over many years.

Infrastructure Development

Establishes fencing and sustainable irrigation solutions at each farm to prevent crop devastation from drought or wild animals.

Guaranteed Market

Gives farmers the option to sell their produce to Thanda, which is used in our Feeding Programme and/or sold to retailers.
