WIIN Langkloof Rural Development

WIIN was approached by the Chairperson of the Langkloof Association, to visit Langkloof in Mpumalanga province, in order to assess the plight of impoverished women and children, living in communities in the Langkloof area, in the heartland of the Ndebele people
Francesca Fondse, the WIIN Founder and National Champion for Women visited the area initially on the 25 January 2019, ongoing
The village of Langkloof is home to 83 orphans who are in great need, with no proper facilities, and donations towards this project is most welcome!
Most women and inhabitants are unemployed, poverty rife and semi-illiterate
WIIN assessed the climatic conditions re average rainfall, temperatures, soil structures, vegetation etc. to determine feasibilities
With this information and the assessment of empowerment possibilities, it became clear that the surrounding area would support agro, vertical-fresh tunnels, aquaponics, backpacker’s tourism, and further SMME related developments
The WIIN Training Division will create training programmes for this community, aligned with the findings
WIIN empower the women of the village to be economically active, and provide means for the children and themselves, for now and the future
