It's unusual for us to when someone has to drop out of one of our programs. But in this case, we congratulate Nteseng Maripa of Bultfontein, who recently withdrew from our youth food production project in Free State, South Africa to accept a full-time job! The unemployment rate in her community is more than 70%, and it is particularly difficult for youth to find jobs. Nteseng was learning gardening to provide for her family. With her new skills and the tools that INMED South Africa & WOOLWORTHS provided, Nteseng plans to continue growing. “Home gardening has had a positive impact in my life,” she says.

This may look like ordinary mint, but to these entrepreneurs in Brazil, this mint is their livelihood. INMED Brasil donates this mint from our system at SERTA - Serviço de Tecnologia Alternativa to their women's cooperative so they can make herbal soaps, lotions & remedies for sale. Just another example of how our INMED Aquaponics Social Enterprise is strengthening , & in vulnerable communities of Brazil.

Congratulations to our team at INMED Caribbean on a grant award from the American Friends of Jamaica to provide training to agricultural students at Garvey Maceo High School -- just 5 minutes away from the INMED Aquaponics Social Enterprise in Clarendon, Jamaica. to Sherica, Keisha & Paul on this new project!

Foi em 1989, a partir de grupo de agricultores, técnicos e educadores que desenvolviam em comunidades rurais uma metodologia própria para a promoção do meio ambiente, a melhoria da propriedade e da renda e o uso de tecnologias apropriadas, que o SERTA foi fundado. ☀️

Desde sua origem, tivemos como foco o desenvolvimento e reconhecimento da importância da agricultura familiar. Essa continua sendo nossa missão: formar pessoas para atuarem na transformação das circunstâncias econômicas, sociais, ambientais, culturais e políticas e na promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável, com foco no campo. 🍃

Hoje comemoramos 33 anos de lutas, vitórias, vidas transformadas e sonhos. Nosso agradecimento a todos e todas que são o SERTA! 🥳✨

It's also low in fat, saturated fat, omega-3 fatty acids, calories, carbohydrates and sodium making it a healthy addition to any meal.

Proud to partner with WOOLWORTHS to improve the lives of unemployed youth in Free State, South Africa.

INMED South Africa was among seven beneficiaries of WOOLWORTHS’ ‘Take a moment to make a difference’ Christmas campaign in 2021. The participants’ training is part of a six-month programme to provide AgriSETA accredited training for primary agriculture as well as basic training in aquaponics.

As we celebrate National Youth Month, these young people are candid about the challenges they have faced and how this training is changing their outlook for the future.

Some of the youth are living with a disability and/or without a matric qualification, so the chance to learn aquaponics has opened doors to opportunities they would never have dreamed of in their hometowns of Bultfontein and Kroonstad.

Each participant will receive seeds, basic tools and shade netting, as well as basic training in climate-smart aquaponics to help the youth improve their household food security and create opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.

Unathi Sihlahla, Director of INMED South Africa, explains that INMED has been creating opportunities for innovative, climate-smart food production in vulnerable communities across the country for over a decade. Last year, parent NGO INMED Partnerships for Children launched the country’s first INMED Aquaponics® Social Enterprise (INMED Aquaponics Social Enterprise) in Vanderbijlpark, and this year will be leveraging the INMED ASE model to tackle youth unemployment by training the next-generation agri-entrepreneurs.
