Gather your team together to plant Spekboom in an underserved community. This is a great team building activity which also gives back to the community and environment!
At Spekboom for Climate Change, we support local and all our Spekboom is grown locally, at our local iGardi Project gardens, to provide Call 2 Care Community Partners with another way of generating income. Spekboom propagation is currently taking place in the Sebenza Gogos Garden in Gugulethu, an iGardi Project Community Garden that was kickstarted by Call 2 Care on Mandela Day 2019.
The Gogos Garden is an all-female run elderly garden in Gugulethu, which provides the neighbouring ECD with fresh nutritious vegetables, and the "Gogo's" sell the rest towards their livelihoods and create a circular economy in the garden.
Once the Spekboom is propagated, the Gogos will sell it to us at Call 2 Care, where we distribute it to you or donate it to a community that needs urban greening. All donated Spekboom will be donated to Thembani Primary School, an under-resourced school in Langa. Once we have reached our Spekboom quota for Thembani we will then move onto Unakho Children's Home in Barcelona - a community in Gugulethu that is built on a landfill.
Let's help green South Africa, improve lives through a circular economy and stop climate change together! Be a part of the Spekboom movement!
