Supporting future generations with nutritious vegan meals:
Just Vegan loves to assist where ever possible, all opportunity to advocate for healthy plant based lunches is one step forward for all kind. Healthy meals mean happy healthy minds, stronger immune systems, better education, happy sentient persons.
Providing holistic care and a home for destitute HIV/AIDS-infected mothers, their children and orphans as a result of HIV-related deaths, Nkosi’s Haven is a safe haven without discrimination and prejudice. They also contribute by distributing a portion of their donations to other organisations in need.
How you can help: All kinds of donations are appreciated from, healthy food, clothing and shoes to toys, bedding and furniture.
Supporting community through healthy ecosystems and security:
Just Vegan is a firm believer in that we, and everything we do, all our actions are connected, in that improved friendships, healthier ecosystems, health, security, education, and improved quality of life on earth is interlinked in enabling all of us to better each others lives, inclusive of sentient persons. The Klein Jukskei Greenbelt Initiative is one of those projects that does just that, please support them, and or find one closest to your community and to your heart, that does something similar for your community!
Supporting life on earth through planting indigenous trees:
Trees are the driving force for clean air. They sustain soil, provide shelter and food for trillions of living beings on earth – lets plant them together so that we can all breath and feel their energy together. Just Vegan supports trees for life. Just Vegan loves to plant trees for the benefit of all. You could consider Vi-skogen who do fantastic work in East Africa.
Vegan Food For Life Initiative:
On the 28th of October 2017, Just Vegan initiated The Vegan Food For Life Initiative. Purely experimental and with so much love at hand, more than 100 pumpkin seedlings were planted from a store-bought pumpkin.
Within just 6 days, they all flourished and started to reach for earths light – seeds that would normally have been thrown away.
What transpired over the next 6 weeks was indeed magical!
New friends were connected, food was swapped, so was seeds, seedlings, and loads of love – in true human spirit.
Conscious concerns about waste on plastic, recycling, water shortages, animal exploitation, community safety & security, health, togetherness, ecosystems, healthy air & water, and fitness came to highlight. These seedlings gave Just Vegan and Vegan Chef On The Run with Šárka Hedström a blessed opportunity to hold an audience with diverse communities, and for that we are forever humbled and eternally grateful.
Through this Initiative, genuine worldly concerns, giving, Just Vegan established solid friendships who are willing to move forward to the next page.
Today, we have established: a variety of tomatoes, peppers, chills, we have our first flowers on our pumpkin seedlings, onions, beets, spinach, kale, chives, garlic, sorghum, rosemary, thyme, sage, roquette, tarragon, mint, a beautiful hybrid rose, jasmine, bamboo, lavender, parsley, coriander, passion fruit –
Taking care to water by hand with bucket, early morning or late evening, making use of old used tyres and recycled plastic for containers – all it takes is a little love, access to water, and soil, providing food for those who need. No one should ever have to go hungry. This is something that we can all do readily!
Just Vegan has also established a haven of drinking water for the garden birds who sing such beautiful angelic songs free of charge!
Outreach:
Just Vegan believes that we are all connected, just like an intricate network of mycelium, working together symbiotically, keeping each other alive, safe, and happy. We need each other today, more so, than ever before. Living well and doing good encourages and inspires others to do so.
