In the spirit of Mandela Day 2024, Vergenoegd Löw has taken on an inspiring initiative to sow the seeds of sustainability and community empowerment in Faure.

Partnering with St Paul’s Primary School, Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate's new project aims to beautify the school grounds and instill a sense of hope among the students and the broader community.

Corius Visser, managing director at Vergenoegd Löw, emphasizes that sustainability and community are fundamental for the winery. He views initiatives like the garden project as big steps towards strengthening the ideals of the community. "Establishing a beautiful garden instills hope in the younger generation, fostering well-being and optimism," he says.

For Antonia du Toit, headmaster at St Paul’s Primary School, the garden project is about far more than just landscaping.

Located in Faure, a community historically rooted in farming, the school serves a diverse demographic, including learners from lower-income households. Many of these students have backgrounds rich in farming heritage, which the garden project honours.
