Amanzi Amahle Cooperative Farm & Distillery
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Partner Since 2018
Headquartered in the Witwatersrand hills of South Africa, the Amanzi Amahle Cooperative Farm and Distillery works with local growers throughout the region to produce some of Young Living’s most popular essential oils. This partnership provides the valuable instruction and resources smaller farms need to produce high-quality essential oils, while also dedicating efforts to conscientious treatment of the people, land, and resources.
LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
The Amanzi Amahle Cooperative Farm and Distillery supports the Ikhwezi Lamanyuswa Centre, where children between two and four years old are fed, taught, and cared for throughout the day while their parents' work. The center is a valuable service in an area where work is scarce and unemployment is around 60 percent. It now feeds roughly 150 children per day and features a clinic and school.
The cooperative supports community education by working with local schools to help teach English, music, and other skills to enrich the lives of the people from the surrounding areas.
