Mafudu Land Committee
Our partner in Mafudu is the Mafudu Land Committee. In 2009, OHFI purchased a ¾ acre plot of land in Mafudu to build a classroom and provide agricultural training. The land is close to a road, and has good access to water. Unfortunately, we could not start the project for some time due to several local challenges. However, thanks to the local community’s perseverance and commitment, the project began in 2022.
-
Twelve of the most impoverished families, with more than forty children between them, have been selected as the first group to benefit. For the next two seasons, these families will be taught more resilient farming practices, including an understanding of crop rotations. Participants will also be provided with seeds and tools that are robust and of good quality. After the two seasons, they will use their new knowledge and resources to continue developing the small plots of land they already have. Then the project will begin again with another twelve families.
Current Projects:
Classroom Build
With many challenges around health, education, and the quality of land and tools in Mafudu, it is critical to provide local people with new skills for the longer term, so they can in turn empower their children with the knowledge they need to bring positive change.
OHFI wants to support the community in building a classroom and storeroom. These will be used to teach agriculture courses and to store seeds and tools. The classroom will also be used to teach the training modules in the care and protection of vulnerable children.
