The entire INMED family is saddened by the death of Martha Moletsana, who left this world on March 19–just 1 day after her daughter passed away from a long illness. Martha was a leader of the farm cooperative in Hennenman, Free State, which operates a very successful INMED Aquaponics^®  system. She was an inspiration not only to people with disabilities but to us all. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to her family, friends and fellow farmers. We will miss her indomitable spirit but will carry on her legacy of determination and inclusion. Click here to see Martha in the recent cover story of Rolling Inspiration Magazine.

Seeds for Life Campaign

THE CHALLENGE:

Before Covid-19 hit South Africa, it was already plagued by poverty, hunger and the highest unemployment in history following the recent global economic crisis, steep food and fuel prices, severe climate events—and now the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 3 million additional people are now unemployed and struggling to feed their families.The need for local home food production is urgent.

THE SOLUTION:

Food security begins in the backyard. INMED South Africa’s Seeds for Life campaign will help 2,500 households establish and sustain backyard food gardens. Your donation will provide free seeds and training to families on the brink of starvation, with future assistance to ensure the gardens and families thrive.
