The programme, funded by EDF and implemented by LIMA, supports communities surrounding the Wesley Ciskei Wind Farm, including Wesley, Hamburg, Dabane, Gcinisa, Bell, Bodium and Peddie Extension.
It forms part of EDF's broader socio economic development strategy aimed at strengthening livelihoods in communities that host its renewable energy projects.
