In collaboration with the Ikhala Trust and the Nelson Mandela University Hubs of Convergence, there is a Wells-Estate based Non-Profit Organization called Yizani Sakhe. Yizani Sakhe is a call to action which translates to "come let us build together". As such, they have managed to secure the support of farmers, academics, entrepreneurs around the area as well as the community itself.
