The Shoprite Group, along with its implementation partner Food & Trees for Africa, installed a borehole so that the MCC now has a sustainable source of water. With water tanks and an irrigation system in place, an extensive food garden could be established complete with medicinal herbs and fruit trees.

Infrastructure improvements included renovating the fence, building a toilet, installing composting units as well as moveable chicken pens for outdoor grazing.

The committed members of the MCC are now working to ensure a consistent production rate, so that they may soon be in position to sell their fresh produce in order to generate an income.
