AWCA Investment Holdings Supports inaugural project costs for a property alleviation rural development Initiative.


WEKESA AFRI-FARMING was first established with the mission to develop agricultural projects in rural South Africa
and to address the critical issue of food insecurity in our
country.
We are a women-owned organisation whose roots are planted
firmly in the hills and plains of Mtingwevu, a village in the
former Transkei region. Our ethnically diverse founders have pioneered the world with their strong bank marketing skills and
extensive rural development experience. We are passionate about the upliftment of rural communities
and we believe subsistence farming is the foundation on which this vision can evolve.

Developing Rural Communities

AIH got involved in the La’Kheka initiative to provide funding
support on the project. Women empowerment is key to AIH
which is why one of the requirements was that Lakheka had
strong female leadership.
AIH has made it possible for this project to find its footing and
will be central to the expansion of this project. Additionally,
the diverse experience of the AIH board will be critical in
finding partnerships and funding for this rural development
initiative

Phase 1
Phase 1 is about encouraging Subsistence Farming. On September 28th, 2022, in
Mtingwevu, Cala we launched the LaKheka project by giving people a kick-start,
providing them with vegetable seedlings, fruit trees, agricultural tools and water
harvesting tanks.
