Streetscapes is a Cape Town- based gardening project seeks to uplift the homeless.Ā The garden is managed by the homeless, and it grows produce that is sold to local businesses. All profits made from the produce is used to pay the managers of the garden.
Nazeema Jacobs, a previously homeless woman said, āKnowing that I can create life with my hands made me feel like I am worthy of doing somethingā. Before joining Streetscapes, Jacobs was estranged from her family, and was victim to her vices. She believes that there are sustainable means of building a better life regardless of a personās circumstances.
