Futhi Fakudze lives in Emfasini, in the north of Swaziland. There are 17 people in Futhi's household - 11 children and six adults. She spends 250 Swazi Lilangeni (about £18) a month on groceries and grows the rest of her food. Her family is thankfully healthy, although she is aware of cases of cholera in the area. 

Futhi is one of 27 people selected to enter a GardenAfrica training programme in Swaziland. Over the coming months she will learn skills enabling her to improve her already impressive vegetable garden, and extend these skills to assist others in her area. 

At home Futhi produces an abundance of peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, leak, chard, spinach, beet, lettuce carrots and mango - in fact she has already extended beyond her project garden to another 200 sq metre plot!
