ACAT KZN - Helping rural Africans deal with Poverty, Malnutrition and HIV.

Khululiwe joined the ACAT programme in 2021 after attending a BLS course. She developed a passion of helping the community and started the process of becoming a ‘Community Volunteer (CV)’.

She says: “I desire to see my neighbors poverty stricken lives changed. After attending a Basic Life Skills course I planted a garden using the deep trench method. From this I was able to feed my family and earn an income through sales of the surplus produce. I also started another business where I sold health products. It failed because people took products from me on credit.
I then started an agricultural business and requested a place in the community to plant amadumbe because my homestead was not suitable. This business has been successful and I now sell amadumbe at a market in 20 litre buckets for R180 a bucket. People like to buy them in bulk, and I can sell 20 buckets on one day. I now have plans to expand my garden to allow for increased production. I have also started selling eggs.
Through this ACAT programme I feel spiritually renewed and I understand the word of God better. My wish is that everyone could have their eyes opened and their lives transformed!”
