Moringa was one the greatest gifts which
Nature bestowed on man - this was known to the ancient world
and they regarded the tree as a “Cure-all Tree”.
They also saw the Moringa tree as an “Elixir of long
life”, “the Tree of Immortality”, “the
Tree of Life”, “the Never Die Tree”, “the
Miracle Tree, and “Mother’s best friend”.
Other common names for Moringa are: Horse-radish tree, Benolive
tree (referring to the oil) Drumstick tree (referring to
the large drumstick shaped pods).

Land has been allocated for
UCT's first Moringa Pilot Project. This land belongs to the
family of Lucner who works the land and is delighted to be
a part of the project.
Step 1: Morringa seeds will be hatched and
planted 1 meter apart to form a living hedge around the allocated
land. |
|
 |
Three farmers have been identified who have
land and are willing to be a part of the Moringa Pilot Project.
They have been issued with 300 seeds and
300 grow bags to hatch the seeds.

The Black grow bags will be purchased
and Moringa seeds
will be sourced. The children will be taught the Sowers Parable
using Moringa seeds as a visual aid.
They will be taught about how
to sow and grow Moringa
teaching Biblical principles. Colouring Moringa books will
teach them the nutritional
value of Moringa.
|
| The little saplings
once established will be taken home and planted outside their
homes.
Adult training sessions will
