Upliftment Programs
We employ and give housing to 20 families on the farm.
We positively aim to raise the standard of living and uplift the local community on an ongoing basis.
Generations of our employees and their children have been educated by Zeekoegat Primary. Zeekoegat Primary currently schools 120 primary children and 90 pre-primary children. They do not currently have access to a computer.
Due to the bad conditions of the current school building (it has become unsafe and unstable), the Zeekoegat Primary School Trust is in the process of building a new school for the local community.
The trust was formed by the adjoining landowners of Sarai Ostrich Show Farm / Vanessa Engelbrecht - and Angela Olivier from the farm Welgeluk.
The trust's main aim is to raise funds for the new school project.
