Velly Tshikungulu is fundraising for Rooftop Resilience: Powering Urban Farming
by Lutheran Community Outreach Foundation
I believe Rooftop Resilience: Powering Urban Farming is a great cause. I am doing this because I want our communities to have access to fresh, healthy food grown right where we live. By turning rooftops into farms, we can create green spaces, build skills, and bring neighbors together to grow a stronger, more self-reliant future.

This project is raising funds that will be used to strengthen and expand the NGO’s rooftop garden into a more resilient and sustainable food-learning system for young people participating in their school-linked programme by purchasing an inverter and battery for their solar system. This project will help ensure uninterrupted irrigation, protect crops cared for by learners, and reduce reliance on unstable electricity.
This project directly benefits learners from inner-city high schools in Johannesburg, particularly those in Hillbrow and surrounding areas. This includes learners living in flats and high-density urban environments. Many of these young people have limited access to agricultural land or practical environmental education. The programme provides them with structured, hands-on learning that builds skills in food production, sustainability, and renewable energy systems. Also, beneficiaries include, educators and partner schools who benefit through practical curriculum support. Surrounding communities gain exposure to sustainable food practices and improved environmental awareness.
