SAFE ( Social Access Facilitation Enterprise), was born in the fields of Zebediela, Limpopo, out of a simple but radical belief: that young people, given the right tools and a patch of land, can feed a community and build a future.
We grow food. We create jobs. We teach sustainable farming to the next generation. And we do it all from the ground up.
From watermelons to maize, we cultivate crops on local land and sell affordable produce directly to the Zebediela community, keeping food on tables and money in the neighbourhood.
Youth unemployment doesn’t fix itself. We fix it by putting young people to work on the farm, in the workshops, and in the field. To date, we’ve employed 12 youth workers and counting.
From Grade 11 agricultural sciences workshops to community permaculture sessions, we share what we know because the best crop we can grow is a skilled, self-sufficient community.
