John Ngwana - Remarkable Transformation

John Ngwana, a devoted father of four, faced a decade of unemployment

John Ngwana, a devoted father of four, faced a decade of unemployment that left him relying on child support grants and feeling disheartened. His life turned around when he discovered the Food Security Program (FSP) in Diepsloot. Through FSP training, John gained crucial crop production skills and started his own micro agribusiness. With determination, John secured permission to cultivate vegetables at Tsatsi La Bophelo day care, transforming an unused space into a thriving garden. This initiative began earning him around R1500 monthly despite limited space. His fortunes improved further when he became a replacement grower at Growzone 9, increasing his income to an average of R3500 per month. John's journey from despair to stability exemplifies the impact of FSP in empowering individuals like him to provide for their families. Grateful for the program's support, John envisions its growth to help more men achieve self-reliance and success.
