The Themba Development Project

One person, one community CAN make a difference!

Welcome to The Themba Development Project

The Themba Development Project is a registered Canadian humanitarian-aid and development organization which works to assist chronically poor people in South Africa. Our goal is to improve access to food and clean water, minimize poverty and food insecurity, encourage education and develop short and long term solutions to the food crisis facing the local people.

One person, one community CAN make a difference!

A note from our Founding Director, Catherine Robar

Nqiningana is a very special little village located in the Eastern Cape, former Transkei region near the city of Lady Frere and Queenstown. Many families currently living in Themablethu’s Zone 4 were born in Nqiningana, and sadly had to leave this beautiful village due to a severe lack of water, jobs and food. Nqiningana is near and dear to my heart as it is where I received my Xhosa name, Sandise. This powerful name translates roughly to “The strength of the community”.

We are currently in the process of planning and fundraising for an ambitious project to bring water and life to this community. Through the innovative technology of Fog-Harvesting water can be collected from the moisture filled mountainous air and piped down to the village below. This technique has already been successfully implemented in villages similar to Nqiningana. With this technology present we will also complete a major farming project in the community. This project will give the village a secure space to grow it’s own food, drastically improving the food security of the community and also providing a source of income. With an unemployment rate that exceeds 80% this is an important feature. Drip Line irrigation will allow for maximum efficiency of water.
