Abalimi operates to promote urban agriculture in the townships of the Cape Flats near Cape Town.Abalimi means "The Planters" in Xhosa and they have helped individuals, groups and community-based organisations to develop permanent food-growing and conservation projects as the basis for sustainable livelihoods, job creation and poverty alleviation.
They provide training and low-cost, subsidised gardening resources like manure, seeds, tools, and organic pest control at its two gardens in Nyanga and Khayelitsha townships, which are staffed by fieldworkers from those communities.
The Fezeka Community Garden in Gugulethu has 5,000 square meters that is used for growing vegetables.
Albalimi helps farmers develop their own organic vegetable gardens to supplement their diet and provide additional income.
Mike.
