The Socio-Economic Development (SED) programme invests in and promotes small black businesses in the agriculture and property sector.
We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to create positive change and help develop financially sustainable SMEs by working with black-led businesses. To date, we have created 4 257 jobs, funded 16 different companies and invested over R80 million in businesses since 2002. We also put our weight behind initiatives that support entrepreneurs and we have become an active advocate for socio-economic transformation.
Providing a comprehensive solution that includes financial support, market access, and technical assistance.
Addressing funding challenges for emerging black farmers.
A major challenge faced by emerging black farmers is accessing appropriate funding. The Tyala Impact Fund was established to provide a comprehensive solution in partnership with like-minded organisations. This fund focuses on key areas such as financial support, market access, and technical assistance.
Through the Tyala Impact Fund, we aim to overcome these barriers by offering not only financial aid but also the necessary resources and support to help these farmers succeed. By collaborating with partners who share our vision, we ensure emerging black farmers have the tools they need to thrive today and beyond.
Our commitment is to continue impacting socio-economic transformation by supporting small businesses to grow exponentially while also addressing prevalent transformation and market failure issues.
The Tyala Impact Fund provides financial resources to emerging black farmers, helping them commercialise their operations and achieve sustainable growth.
We facilitate access to markets for these farmers, ensuring they can sell their produce and compete effectively in the agricultural sector.
Through partnerships, we offer technical support and training to farmers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.
The Tyala Impact Fund is dedicated to overcoming the barriers that prevent emerging black farmers from accessing funding and support. By focusing on commercialising these farmers, transforming the agricultural sector, and promoting equitable ownership, we aim to create sustainable jobs, contribute to food security, and develop inclusive food systems.
