Meet Joseph Tshepiso Xekow, a valuable member of the U Can Grow team who plays a pivotal
role in our mission to empower communities through sustainable farming. Joseph’s dedication,
passion, and green thumb have been instrumental in driving our success.

At U Can Grow, we believe that every member of our team is a seed of positive change, and Joseph is no exception. He embodies the spirit of growth, resilience, and organic farming. Just like a seed, he perseveres through challenges and adverse conditions to reach for the sun, symbolising our commitment to nurturing sustainable communities.

Joseph’s primary responsibility revolves around assisting communities like Kromdraai in realising the untapped potential of their backyards. Through U Can Grow, he provides these communities with seeds, knowledge, and unwavering support to transform empty plots into thriving gardens. This not only helps individuals grow their own food but also improves their livelihoods and fosters self-sufficiency. However, Joseph’s role goes beyond planting seeds; he is a bridge between communities and markets. After these dedicated community members grow their produce, Joseph steps in to ensure their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. He facilitates the purchase of their produce, removing barriers to market entry, and ensuring that the community’s efforts are recognized and rewarded. Joseph’s dedication to our mission is a testament to his belief that every piece of land, no matter how barren it may seem, holds the potential to become a source of nourishment and transformation. He encourages communities to see these empty lands as opportunities waiting to be unlocked, as assets for food production and income generation. At U Can Grow, we are committed to nurturing change from the ground up, and Joseph’s role is at the heart of this commitment. His passion for organic farming, dedication to community empowerment, and unwavering support for sustainable livelihoods make him an invaluable part of our team.

Join us in celebrating Joseph Tshepiso Xeko, the green thumb behind U Can Grow’s success. Together, we are sowing the seeds of change, one backyard at a time, and cultivating a greener, more sustainable future for all. Thank you, Joseph, for being an integral part of our journey.
