One of South Africa’s poorest provinces — and one of its most resourceful. The need is urgent, but so is the potential.
Statisticians, economists and analysts alike rank Limpopo among the poorest provinces in South Africa.
Ranked by GDP per capita, it outranks only the Eastern Cape. It carries one of the highest rates of poverty in the country, with an estimated 78–80% of the population living in poverty, and it is one of the provinces where wealth distribution is most unequal.
An estimated four in five people in the province live below the poverty line.
More than eight in ten children under 17 can be classed as multidimensionally poor.
A population of more than 5.8 million across some 125,755 square kilometres.
“This revolving cycle of poverty needs to be broken.”
Limpopo is not defined only by its need. With more than 5.8 million people and a vast land mass rich in environmental assets, the province holds extraordinary potential. When a community’s people are developed and combined with those assets, an economic renaissance becomes inevitable.
The area includes state-owned land with massive tourism and game-farming potential. Developing a single village has a drastic impact — not only in basic upliftment, but in stimulating surrounding economic activity and relieving pressure on government for social-grant payments.
Market research among the farming community has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response. The opportunity is real, and it is ready.
We are committed to bringing about sustainable change, breaking the cycle of poverty and equipping people to become part of mainstream economic activity — changing lives for generations to come.
