ACAT KZN - Please assist rural Africans deal with Poverty

Nomvula Mpofu has put into practice all the things she learned from ACAT. She used her savings to buy netting to protect her vegetables from the birds that are problematic in her zone. She joined her group in 2021 and she says:
“My reason for joining the programme was solely to fight poverty, because my child’s grant was not enough to sustain us for the whole month. The produce from my garden has boosted the grant, and enables me to save.”
“What really fascinates me the most is that before I joined the programme, we depended only on the government grant for a living. Now at least we are no longer a struggling family instead our garden is like a lighthouse in my zone.”
