MAIN CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COMMUNITY: poverty, unemployment.

The Kgatelopele Social Development Forum (KSDF) is an established Local Development Association located in Danielskuil. The strength of the organisation is drawn from a board that is made up of community leaders, business leaders and officials from the local mining industry.

The KSDF has a communal food garden project that supports over 130 households in the community. The produce from the garden is packaged and sold to the local supermarket and also distributed to those in need in their community as part of their Home-based care programme. Members of the community can also buy seeds and seedlings from the project. The communal food garden also serves as a place where community members interested in starting their own food gardens could get training and support.
