Farming

Buhle is an NPO that trains new farmers from across South Africa. We opened our first training academy in the year 2000 with 57 students, and have been growing steadily ever since, training a record 517 students last year. We have now trained a total of over 4500 new farmers. Each of these graduates goes home to employ others on their farm, which helps to create the jobs our country so desperately needs in the rural areas. Our experts in agricultural development have developed a best-practice model that is working well and ensuring our continued growth. We now have two training academies: one in Delmas, Mpumalanga, and the other, which opened this year, in Mkhondo (Piet Retief), KwaZulu-Natal. We look forward to further expanding our services across South Africa, in our mission to help ensure food security, and create livelihoods. Our heartfelt thanks go to all of our partners and supporters, without whom our work would not be possible.
