Good news stories don’t come along every day. And with two of South Africa’s biggest problems being food security and sustainability, the work that Siyazisiza Trust is doing in this area inspired Tourvest to become involved.
According to Justin Bend, Co-CEO OF Siyazisiza Trust, “With climate change issues now a reality we’re looking at longer term projects and growing of alternate crops to cope with severe weather issues. For example indigenous crops such as amaranth, also known as morog, are highly nutritious and we’re even producing popcorn from the grain which we’re now distributing through health shops nationwide.
Judi Nwokedi, Chief Group Sustainability Officer of Tourvest comments, “We’ve always been aware of the importance of these projects as longer term goals with food sustainability at the forefront. Although such programmes take time to come to full fruition they are positive steps in the right direction. Joining hands with organisations such as the Siyazizisa Trust means we’re helping to make a positive difference in vital areas.
