Township Vegetable Tunnel Project

The Vegetable Tunnel Project exists to strengthen food security among vulnerable households by equipping them with the skills, tools, and resources needed to grow their own produce.  What began as a small initiative has now expanded significantly and currently supports nearly 50 households, empowering families to cultivate vegetables for their daily needs.

Beyond improving nutritional intake, the project also opens economic opportunities. Many beneficiaries are able to sell surplus produce, creating a small but meaningful income stream that contributes to household sustainability.

As the project has grown, participating community members have developed a deeper understanding of responsibility, accountability, and long-term commitment in caring for their vegetable tunnels. They receive practical training in planning, organizing, planting, maintaining, and harvesting—ensuring that each tunnel becomes a productive and well-managed food source.

We are grateful for the long-standing partnership with Raubex (Pty) Ltd, who has supported the project since September 2012, helping us expand its reach and impact.
