Help Premiflo by Financial and in-kind support for Community development activities

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Gwatyu is a community of approximately 77 farms which the apartheid government expropriated in the 1970s and handed them over to the Transkei– a quasi-republic Bantustan. Leases for the farms were earmarked for the elite and those well-connected within the Transkei administration. Despite being overlooked by the Transkei government, the farm workers remained on the farms. In the 1990s, a change in the government saw all the Gwatyu farm leases terminated with farmworkers remaining and continuing to live on the land. These farmworkers continued to use the land for subsistence farming but did not have the resources to maintain the necessary means and support for commercial agriculture, resulting in steady decline in the farms over the years that followed. Due to prolonged neglect, this community is currently facing numerous interconnected challenges including limited access to essential human rights like clean water, education, healthcare, poor sanitation, electricity, inadequate connectivity, and crumbling farming infrastructure such as dams and fencing. As a result, many young and economically active individuals are migrating to urban areas in search of employment opportunities to support their families and sustain farming through remittances. Premiflo has been actively supporting this community in their fight for the recognition of their land tenure rights while advocating for access to essential human rights
