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

A “community volunteer” (CV) Zama Nkosi from Mathambo zone at Nquthu area, joined the programme in 2020 and is leading by example. Zama grows and sells vegetables throughout the year. Besides the vegetable garden, she also runs a tuck shop business.

She lives in a small community of about 1000 people who are predominantly maize farmers. She has noted that many young people do not offer support to their parents with the farm work, however Zama is different from her peers. She was trained at ACAT to be a Community Volunteer (CV) and now works in her community as ‘an agent of change’ to support and develop it, using different methods taught by the programme.
