How can you help?
Help M-Powerment Care with 25 volunteers for Our Roots & Rise Campus Garden.
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Volunteers will help maintain M-Powerment Care's campus garden, which grows fresh produce to support our food security efforts for the surrounding community. The harvest primarily supports a student food programme at the University of Pretoria, with any surplus handed out to those in need on the streets of Hatfield. Tasks typically include planting, weeding, watering and harvesting — no gardening experience needed, just a willingness to get your hands dirty! Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed shoes, and bring water and sun protection. Tools are limited, so volunteers are more than welcome to bring their own gardening gloves and equipment if they have them. Sessions run 2–4 hours. We welcome individuals, students and corporate teams, and volunteers are welcome to come back for future sessions.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
