Soil for Life greening the townships

We closed off with an interview with Pat Featherstone - Director of Soil for Life, an organisation which teaches people how to build the soil and grow healthy plants so that families can sit down to plates of safe, fresh nutritious food at night, all year round. The low cost methods enable gardeners to harvest large amounts of food from small spaces using very little water and no harmful chemicals. Their Green Revolution is no dream but instead a product of their experience, having worked in townships with people for the past eight years. They run a year long gardening, life and business skills programme and by the end of this programme, people are able to put food on the table and generate an income for themselves and their families. It costs R2 000 to put one community member through the programme. You can help change multiple lives by sponsoring a community member to go on the programme.
