Thank you for your help!

We would like to give a special thank you to the many people and organisations who contributed to Angamma in November 2019. 

It is thanks to these funds that we have been able to start the following projects.

First, a food garden project called Seven Generations Africa (read more here)

Second, we developed short-term solutions for the hunger crisis that worsened with the restrictions of the lockdown. It consisted of sending food packages to communities/groups who were most affected. This included orphanages and rural communities.

Food Gardens

This project allowed food-stressed families to have access and ownership to fresh, organic food.

The COVID-19 global crisis worsened the food crisis in South Africa. This project can help people in dire need of food.

Knowledge

Permaculture principles allows people to understand how to grow their own food, as well as the ecosystems present in nature, and how to use these sustainably. 

Networks

The schools with who we work are dedicated champions of their communities. Parents, workers, children and all members of the community are connected through this central food garden, where they can get knowledge, connection and support. 

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Founder - Jay Naidoo

Jay Naidoo was the general secretary of the largest South African trade union organisation (COSATU) which was a key pillar in the struggle for freedom. Campaigning for the release of Nelson Mandela, he accompanied this great icon on the 11th of February, 1990 when he was released after 27 years in jail. He was then asked by Mandela to join the South African Parliament and made Minister in the President’s office and then the Communications Ministry after the 1994 first democratic elections. He left Government when Mandela stepped down in 1999. He also set up an investment and management business while continuing to work with national and international development organisations including the United Nations. In 2010 he stepped down from business and operationalises the Angamma Charitable Trust as a vehicle for building grassroots development for deeply marginalized communities.
