A community-led agricultural model in Deelpan, North West, is improving food security, creating jobs, and strengthening rural governance. This showcases how the Seriti Institute is transforming the lives of rural communities in South Africa.

Established in 2009, Seriti Institute has grown into one of South Africa’s leading non-profit organisations working to reduce poverty, strengthen food systems, and create meaningful pathways to work. Rooted in people-centred approaches, Seriti works hand-in-hand with communities to build resilience, restore dignity, and drive change from within.

With the launch of two landmark reports on the Deelpan Multi-Functional Agri-Node (MFAN), the organisation marks a powerful chapter in this journey, showcasing how Seriti’s community-led development model is reshaping the future of rural communities in South Africa.
