Thembalethu Participant

"Participating in the KSE Foundation and UWC Nature Reserve's collaborative workshop at Thembalethu has been a life-changing experience for our community. The workshop empowered us with sustainable gardening techniques and practical knowledge to enhance our self-sufficiency. The donation of indigenous plants, herbs , and vegetables, along with the creation of a worm farm, has revitalized our facility and inspired hope among residents. Thanks to the KSE Foundation, we are now better equipped to cultivate our own food and create a greener future."
