FARMING AND AGRICULTURE – KZN

Developing the lives of people in the rural and underdeveloped areas of South Africa.

We oversee numerous farms in the area where over 80 000 vegetable plants have been planted. The produce will be sold by the locals to earn a living for themselves and they will reinvest this creating sustainable development. The farm is running over 3 hectares of land.

MPAME FISHING VILLAGE- EASTERN CAPE

Mpame Village is a village located in rural Eastern Cape, on the shores of the Indian Ocean.

The village is poverty stricken and residents identified an opportunity to make use of the ocean for economic development. So, Al Jama-ah got involved and assisted the co-op with the acquisition of a fishing vessel, training and a cold storage unit.

The co-op is now fully independent and operational – practically uplifting the lives of residence.

WHEELCHAIR DRIVE – HARDING AND UMZINTO, KZN

Al Jama-ah in Harding and Umzinto have gotten involved in sourcing and distributing wheelchairs to community members in need of them.
Many elderly or disabled community members are unable to afford wheelchairs, and without a wheelchair many are excluded from community particpation, unable to make a living or meet their own basic living needs. Dependent on the goodwill of those around them, for everything. These wheelchairs change their lives, empowering and enbling them to live a fuller, more productive and independent life.

SOUP KITCHEN – DRAKENSTEIN, WC

The need was simple – food. Nothing can happen, without that need first being fulfilled. Children cannot grow and study, adults cannot work. It was a matter of first things first!

So, we responded. Operated by Al Jama-ah Councilor Stulweni in Drakenstein, Paarl, Al Jama-ah stepped in, and set up asoup kitchen, to assists the community with fighting hunger. Every week we host a soup kitchen distributing food hampers and clothing to the community, that we collate and source throughout the preceding week.

EACH ONE FEED ONE CAMPAIGN

‘Each one Feed one’ is an internal initiative, driven from within Al Jama-ah.
Each county office drives the campaign in their area.
Community member in need, leave their names at our offices. Then our staff working with the local communities. donate, or sponsor hampers or items of food which they deliver  to our offices. From there the food is delivered to the families in need.
The campaign is growing well, and making a debt on the overwhelming fight against hunger in our communities.
