When the Covid-19 pandemic started threatening food security across the world, NOAH took action. We shifted the NOAH model from meal provision to the establishment of sustainable, communal and household-led food gardens. This has seen the gradual transformation of available garden spaces at the Woodstock and Khayelitsha Centre premises and individual households into flourishing veggie gardens.
A couple of years in, the benefits of this project are already evident. With 90 individual household gardens and 7 communal gardens, residents can eat, share or sell fresh, homegrown veggies that provide nutritious and healthy meals. The garden project helps generate significant cost-savings for our elders, their families and neighbours.
Through the Woodstock and Khayelitsha clinics, partnerships with the University of Cape Town, and wonderful volunteers, NOAH members have access to simple and easy to implement nutritional advice.
Residents can learn about the nutritional value of different foods, managing monthly grocery bills, cooking homemade, healthy and balanced meals and more.
Thanks to the Health team’s expertise, members can also benefit from specialized advice on topics such as managing blood sugar levels for diabetics.
