Humanitarian Welfare

Agriculture is the backbone of rural stability, social upliftment, and economic development, and even though the deciduous fruit industry, services growers and produce worldclass fruit, we are all about people. Without people our industry will not survive. The Hortgro Legacy Foundation therefore endeavours to protect, nurture, uplift, and develop the people of the industry.

Whether it be in supporting crèches, schools, bursaries, or social welfare programmes, or in times of crisis when natural disasters strike, and people need access to humanitarian aid. The Hortgro Legacy Foundation will be there to help.
