Vacation Hub International - Hotels - Details for Joe Matsila Community Development Trust
Hotel Description
The Matsila Community Development Trust was established by the Matsila Royal Family under the leadership of Chief Livhuwani Matsila. The trust was used as a vehicle to bring in funding and investment to the Matsila community. The village was steeped in poverty, unemployment and the lack of basic services. Chief Livhuwani Matsila highlighted this need through an intense proposal he presented to the National Lotteries Commission.His vision and perseverance to for his village was realised when the National Lotteries Commission funded his project to the value of R54 million rands over 3 years. The project commenced in 2009.
The funding was focused on agricultural development. This was the first agricultural project funded by the National Lotteries Commission and has proven to be a huge success. The success of the project attracted various partnerships from government departments. These partnerships has allowed the trust to bring water and electricity to the community, social uplifment programs, the promotion of arts and culture and education in conservation. These partnerships have complimented the agricultural and rural development initiatives delivered to the community by the trust with support from its partners.
This project is geared towards the revival, promotion and preservation of indigenous knowledge on environmental management and conservation of natural resources through eco-organic farming. This project will adhere to a sound social development approach which will empower the Matsila Community and surrounding villages to achieve acceptable levels of Household Livelihood Security (HLS).
This initiative shows the viability of integrating sound environmental management principles and eco-organic farming as a livelihood strategy and development option that will increase food security, reduce poverty and disease whilst contributing to soil, water and biodiversity conservation. Working with and for the community, this project will promote the integration and application of indigenous/traditional knowledge in environmental management, conservation of natural resources and sustainable development.
This project will thus improve the capacity of the Matsila Community and surrounding villages to recover, revive, promote, preserve and use their Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to secure livelihoods whilst protecting the environment and natural resources. This will be done through a replicable model providing sustainable land-use options with immense benefits to local people and their environment.
Therefore, the key goal of this project is to promote Community-based Sustainable Land Management (SLM) which is firmly rooted on the recovery and application of Indigenous Knowledge (IK). This will facilitate sustainable development through interventions that mitigate threats to biodiversity and maintain ecological processes necessary to secure livelihoods in rural areas.
SUSTAINABLE BENEFITS TO COMMUNITY & SOCIETY
The main goal of this project is to increase the ability of smallholder farmers to diversify livelihood opportunities by producing sufficient food to feed their family, generating cash income, increasing the productivity of their farming, and conserving their natural resources. A livelihood model to be followed in this project will ensure that communities continue to derive environmental and social benefits for the rest of their lives.
This will be achieved by strengthening capacity to development and implement projects on organic farming to improve rural livelihoods. Importantly, this project strategy aligns with the expectations of the Government of South Africa’s policy and programs on rural development and land reform.
This Project will also improve the capacity of the Matsila Community to achieve a diverse range of livelihood securities including those for food, nutrition, environment, fodder, energy an
