The Shinga Family

 Published:  14 Aug 2018  By Alicia Carter Category: Latest News

The Shinga family has farmed with Thanda since 2015 and it is truly a familial activity – everyone contributes and sees the huge benefit from growing their own healthy foods. The oldest daughter, Sanelisiwe, recently started her own plot. At first, she thought, “farming is for the older people in our community,” but through Thanda’s training and mentoring she has seen that she can create a market for her produce and make a viable income.
