SA youth water prize 2003

Abstract

The Trinity Day Care Centre in Kya Sands, north of Johannesburg, has no running water and access to only a few bare patches of land. Yet, they will soon be harvesting a bumper crop of fresh produce from the small vegetable garden they have created with the help of the Reel Gardening concept. Just kilometres away from Trinity, in the township of Diepsloot, resident Kenith Mahlanga is almost ready to do the same. Although he speaks no English, and has a learning disability, it took only one demonstration for him to learn and implement the Reel Gardening system. His source of food has now become a possible future source of income.
