Current Projects
Swellendam Food Security Initiative
The Swellendam Food Security Initiative was started by ESC in 2022 using an Asset Based Community Development approach by supporting the existing food gardeners to flourish & inspire their neighbors & friends to also start growing some of their own food.
In September 2023 we will be distributing FREE VEGETABLE SEED PACKS consisting of 7 different types of vegetables that can be grown. Distribution will take place in Railton, Swellendam.
If you are a gardener or want to try growing some of your own food, register to receive your FREE VEGETABLE SEED PACK by clicking this link
Once you have registered you will be added to a WhatsApp group where you will receive information of when and where distribution will take place as well as support germinating, transplanting, maintaining and eventually cooking your home grown vegetables.
Join us as we make Swellendam South Africa's first Food Security Rural municipality.
