Khaltsha Community Garden

Growing Together,
Feeding the Future

Feed the Khaltsha is a living, breathing community garden where neighbours become farmers, and soil becomes sustenance. Founded by Thapelo Xabanisa, we grow food, community, and hope.

Our Story

"Every seed we plant is an act of faith — faith in the soil, in each other, and in the future we are building together."

— Thapelo Xabanisa, Founder

Feed the Khaltsha was born from a simple belief: that communities thrive when they grow together. What started as a patch of earth has become a movement — a place where families learn to grow their own food, where youth discover the power of their hands, and where every harvest is a celebration of collective effort.

Our partnership with Uthandosouthafrica has been a cornerstone of our growth — they bring visitors from all over the world to our garden every week, connecting us with sponsors and supporters who have helped us reach more families than we ever imagined.

Our Core Purpose

Nourishing Those Who Need It Most

At the heart of everything we grow is a deeply personal mission: supplying Sibongile Day and Night Care Centre with fresh, organic vegetables. The children at Sibongile live with disabilities, and access to clean, nutritious food is not a luxury for them — it is essential to their health, development, and dignity.

Every harvest we bring to Sibongile is grown without pesticides or chemicals, because these children deserve the very best that the earth can offer. Knowing that our vegetables end up on their plates is the reason we show up, season after season.
