Partnering to Expand Food Security Initiatives

HomeGrowers and Blue Label Telecoms have partnered to expand food security initiatives through financial support. This collaboration has enabled HomeGrowers to enhance their efficiency and create economic opportunities for previously marginalized communities.

By providing access to bigger informal markets, Blue Label Telecoms has facilitated the expansion of HomeGrowers’ reach and audience, thus increasing their impact on local economies.

The financial support from Blue Label Telecoms has helped HomeGrowers in their mission to create a more secure food system and ensure that communities have access to the necessary food resources.

With the generous support of Blue Label Telecoms, HomeGrowers has achieved significant accomplishments in their mission to make nutritious food accessible to those who need it most. With over 5094 fresh herbs and vegetables, including strawberries, successfully planted across various informal sites in Johannesburg, the NGO has provided healthy food to hundreds of children and community members.

In addition, HomeGrowers has developed a container gardening system that uses hydroponics, making it possible to grow food in even the most challenging environments without compromising on nutrition or taste. The NGO has also provided food-growing training to members of the community, empowering them to become self-sufficient in growing and maintaining their own food.

Blue Label Telecoms’ social responsibility investment program has been instrumental in enabling HomeGrowers to provide sustainable food-growing technologies and training to communities in need.
