Gardening Projects

CLAW has been involved with the planning, training and creation of community gardens and tyre gardens in Soweto for 4 years. We have two qualified permaculturists at CLAW – David Khoza and Danile Sifaya. They are responsible for liaising with various community leaders, school heads and individuals who seek to start gardening projects. After site visits and planning, they are able to combine with communities to lay out gardens. Our gardening projects play a huge role in the creation of work as well as providing essential foods for HIV/AIDS sufferers and poor communities.

We have the following operational and profitable gardening projects in Soweto:

Cheese Factory (Community garden)
Slovoville (Gardening group)
Matholiesville (Community garden)
BraamFischerville (Community garden)
Meadowlands (School garden)
Kliptown (Community garden)
Lawley (School gardern)

CLAW has received donations of seeds, compost and gardening tools in the past but these are all currently in need of replacing.
