OUR IMPACT
Roots to Tails is committed to empowering unemployed women in rural communities of South Africa by transforming the gifts of the Marula tree into sustainable products, creating income, independence and a shared commitment to animal welfare. Starting out at the Oaks, Limpopo, Roots to Tails hopes to expand to more neighbouring communities, creating self-sustaining welfare projects through the natural resources available in the communities.
