The children in their Simunye After-School Programme, under the guidance of the farming team, planted beetroot, kale, lettuce, spinach and onions.
“After weeks of maintaining their garden, they are finally harvesting and selling to staff and community members. They have also taken some of the produce to their homes so their families may see what they have been able to produce,” said Seed of Hope CEO Londiwe Myeza.
Farming God’s Way is a tool or resource that is easy for any individual, organisation, church group, missional group and so forth, to be able to ‘pick up’ and use in their existing area of influence.

“We work worldwide, with our main focus being subsistence farmers who plant agronomic crops in order to feed their families. If they do not get a harvest, they do not have food to eat. In South Africa, there is a much higher demand for good vegetable production in communities, so most of our training focuses on that,” said Farming God’s Way’s Nikki Dryden.
Seed of Hope thanked God for this harvest, their partnership with Inundo Development as well as their dedicated farming team.
