SCHOOL FOOD GARDENING PROJECTS
We engaged and worked with various stakeholders in expanding homestead food gardening concept to Primary Schools. Two schools in Dobsonville were adopted (Thathezakho and Thabang Primary Schools). Our team worked together with the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, DANONE SA and Petolo Seedlings in assisting these two Primary schools with their food gardening projects. Batho-Pele Foundation and DANONE SA donated to both School: gardening tools, gardening overalls and boots, garden netting, seedlings from Petolo Seedlings and manure and seeds from Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS
Batho-Pele Foundation has recently worked together Khutsong Empowerment Centre and other stakeholders on an Affirmations Championship Competition hosted at Roodepoort Theater. The competition was between two Soweto High Schools (Kgatelopele Secondary School and Siyabonga High School. The aim was to empower students/ youth with the tools and resources to cultivate a positive mindset, so that we can help them unlock their full potential and achieve greater success in their educational journey. These affirmations can be used to promote a healthy mindset, foster a competitive spirit, and encourage self-confidence.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
At Batho-Pele Foundation, we recognize the importance of developing the skills of our team and members of the community. Through Jo’burg Child Welfare we were able to provide Basic Counselling and Basic Communications training to our team and members of the community. These trainings are crucial for both the individual and the NGO. For the individual, they provide the tools to effectively communicate and counsel, enhancing their personal and professional relationships.
For the NGO, they enable our team to provide high-quality support and services to our clients, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. Through these trainings, we empower our team and community members to build stronger connections, resolve conflicts, and navigate challenging situations with confidence and compassion. By investing in the skills of our team and community members, we strengthen our organization and create a more supportive and resilient community.
CLEANING CAMPAIGNS PROJECTS
Taking care of our environment is crucial for the well-being of our planet and future generations. The natural world provides us with the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, making it essential to protect and preserve it.
By promoting sustainable practices, we can preserve ensure a healthy and thriving planet. Moreover, a clean and healthy environment has numerous benefits for our physical and mental well-being, from improved air quality to reduced stress levels.
