## Resource

Soshanguve Engineering School just unveiled two new horticultural tunnels and a borehole, turning part of campus into a thriving farm where ninth graders are mastering irrigation, composting, and pest control — all while unlocking real career paths in agriculture. Backed by The Shoprite Foundation’s infrastructure and run by the school, this bold initiative aims to fight hunger, fuel entrepreneurship, and reframe farming as a high-tech engineering challenge. Students aren’t just learning theory — they’re growing food, training for plant production qualifications, and sharing harvests with their community. With proven success from similar projects, this is more than a garden; it’s a movement to empower youth and nourish neighborhoods.
