Tebello stroy

Tebello is a 30-year-old mother who lives with her husband and two children. Both she and her husband do not work. The only income they get is the social support grant for their children, which is not enough to meet their needs. With employment being scarce and families like Tebello's who rely solely on the child grant, have to find ways to feed themselves and provide for their basic needs. They have to find ways that will be cost-effective and won’t need any or as little money to maintain. Gardening is a great tool to minimize monthly spending, it is easy to take care of the garden and will save money that will be used on other basic needs. This is the reason amongst others that Tebello decided to start her garden with the help of her husband they have continued to plant vegetables that guarantee them and their children a daily meal. After conducting a family assessment a community care worker advised them to extend their garden to better utilize the space they have which means they can have more vegetables to sell and get money. Topsy Foundation assisted the Moloi family by giving them seeds, soil fertilizers and gardening tools to grow their vegetable great benefits from their garden. Our community care workers will continue to make home visits to the family to monitor their progress and offer assistance where needed
