# University of Fort Hare Faculty of Agriculture and Science alumnus, Wandile Nikelo, is changing lives in the Eastern Cape through his Sakhikamva Agricultural Training and Development Institute. He is tackling youth unemployment and food insecurity by equipping young people with practical agricultural and entrepreneurial skills. The institute was registered in 2021 and has since trained dozens of young people from underprivileged backgrounds. Nikelo says he is planning to expand the institute’s offerings to home industries, offering training in knitting, sewing, baking, woodworking, and computer literacy.
