FARMING

through our on-going relationships.
FARMING
Our work is anchored in strategic partnerships that aim to bridge the gaps between research, farmers, markets, and a supportive enabling environment. The sustainability and effectiveness of our impact heavily rely on the establishment and maintenance of these partnerships. We maintain a close collaboration with communities and all relevant local stakeholders, while actively engaging with both large and small-scale farmers. Through this collaborative approach, we design and implement a diverse range of innovative products, development projects, and initiatives. Consequently, we not only enhance the capacity of farmers but also contribute to the creation of new markets by providing training and facilitating discussions to support the establishment of sustainable food systems.
Our support extends beyond mere implementation efforts; we also provide comprehensive training and mentoring programs that encompass theoretical classroom instruction as well as practical farming techniques. This includes guidance on both arable land and specialized farming methods such as greenhouse and vertical farming. Through this distinctive approach, we empower small-scale farmers to establish and nurture their own farming enterprises, enabling them to achieve self-sufficiency and develop into fully sustainable operations.
We would like to acknowledge Mkhize Vusumuzi Sydney, a local farmer whom we actively support. The video showcases his farm and tells his inspiring story, highlighting how he achieves more as a dedicated local farmer.
WHY AND HOW WE DO IT
In collaboration with public and private stakeholders, we as an implementation partner assist to create sustainable growth within the community’s food security. This is being done through a food gardens project and develop small-scale vegetable farmers, boost food security and improving people's lives. In parallel, running an enterprise development project with the same goal-directed at youth – creating more young entrepreneurs to aid in alleviating hunger and restoring hope.

NATURAL
SOAP BARS
We build strength, stability & self-reliance
through our on-going relationships.
SOAP MAKING
PURPOSE
With the unemployment rate being so high and jobs being few and
far between, the only real way to revitalise the market and more specifically the communities is to not only educate but empower them, with skills and practical knowledge to generate their own income and sustain it.
MISSION
To empower black women and youth, build a sustainable business, and create permanent jobs.
WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ABOUT?
Niya Consulting will be providing the South African Youth with an opportunity to embark on a 12-month SETA Accredited Learnership Programme, by receiving theoretical knowledge through instructor-led online and classroom-based training sessions, combined with practical experience whilst learning to make and operate a soap-making business.
Niya has embarked on providing black women with the skills necessary to make natural cosmetic products including soap bars, bath bombs, bath salts and body scrubs. The aim is to equip them with the skills to make and sell their own bath and body products. The products proposed are natural and eco-friendly, thereby adding a further selling point in order to stand out in the handmade cosmetics market.
The full breakdown of the 12-month Seta program is provided on request.
WHY AND HOW WE DO IT
The products proposed in this course have been formulated to be authentically South African, thereby adding an uniquely local brand identity, which would serve well being sold to foreign tourists typically staying in and around hotels. Indigenous ingredients like rooibos, naartjie, moringa and eucalyptus have been chosen as the focal ingredients, since they are less common internationally. By the end of the practical 2-day course, the students would have made the following products:
• Rooibos chai soap bars (+/- 6 x 100g bars)
• Moringa mint soap bars (+/- 6 x 100g bars)
• Naartjie bath bombs (+/- 6 units)
• Eucalyptus muscle soak bath bombs (+/- 6 units)
• Rooibos chai bath salts (250g)
• Moringa mint bath salts (250g)
• Rooibos chai body scrub (250g)
• Moringa mint facial scrub (250g)
This can be either a CSI or Enterprise Development
initiative aimed at:
• Empowering black women,
• Creating permanent jobs, and
• Perfecting a sustainable model for providing a
sustainable business.
