Lima creates a balance between small-scale farmers and commercial farmers by supporting small farmer with fertiliser, irrigation systems, market guidance and the transporting of produce once it is harvested.
Ndlovu said she is in the process of expanding her farming operation to three hectares to meet the growing demand for her crops.
Lima co-ordinator Thobile Khumalo said there are no costs associated to join Lima’s farmer support programme.
Khumalo added that funds received from its donors are ploughed back into community farming programmes.
“The foundation helps to increase food production in selected households by providing nutrition education, technical support and infrastructural development.”
The organisation operates in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and Gauteng.
