Johannesburg, South Africa

Type:

Horticultural Education

Overview:

Hlumelelisa was established in 2003 in order to mitigate the ever growing crime rate and urban decay in South Africa. Originally, the only aim was to “green” the City by providing horticultural training to sentenced offenders in correctional facilities, but “growing people” and restoring dignity and hope soon became the first priority, and training in horticulture was chosen as the ideal vehicle to bring about this renewal.
