Marethabile’s Moringa Journey 

(by Marethabile Leqheka, South Africa) My name is Marethabile Leqheka, raised by the most beautifully soul-gifted man and woman.  I descend from the peaceful village of Pitseng. I would spend my young days with playing freely with my 5 brothers and sisters, without a care in the world. My powerful and determined parents taught us the strict rules of survival, love and happiness at a tender age.  We would draw water from the springs, wash our tons of laundry at the river to turn and soak in the same river cooling off our young carefree bodies and day-by-day scars.  Organic plants have always been a part of me, as there was not much to depend on those days. We would cultivate…

Moringa in Green Burundi

(Presented by Vincens Burow Lydia – Feb 2018) My name is VINCENS Burow Lydia. I am a Burundian, Manager of MOTHER NATURE PRODUCTS.    (In these photos I am with AMH’s President, Professor Robert Tchitnga, who visited Burundi in January.) Traditionally in the Kings’ era, Burundians ate vitamin-rich sorghum pulp (crushed with its bark), but because of the low yield of this food, Burundians subsequently kept their food habits, making use of maize and cassava pills which have a higher yield per hectare (ha), but, low nutritional values (white flours). Mr Albert Mbonerane (former Minister of Environment and territory Planning) is behind the official and massive introduction of the Moringa Oleifera Tree in Burundi. It is mainly through its association called…

Nigeria, a Hub for Moringa

(Presented by Deji and Ife Adeleke – May 2018) Nigeria, a country of 180 Million with majority of the population being farmers, has been farming moringa for years.

An average home in the Northern part of Nigeria has a Moringa tree. Nigeria hosted a Moringa conference in 2007, which also…

Introduction Prof Robert Tchitnga (President)

Moringa, known as the miracle tree, is a small, deciduous tree with sparse green foliage which can grow up to about 8m high. It grows naturally in most regions of Africa and is called by many names. (These include Ben-oil tree, Benzolive tree, Cabbage tree, Clarifier tree, Drumstick tree, Ewe-igbale, Horse-radish tree, Neverdie, Zogallagandi, Mlonge, Mronge, Mrongo, Mzunze, Nebedayo, Okwe oyibo, Rawag.) Plus around 13 different Moringa species have been identified. The most common varieties are Oleifera and Stenopetala. Many who have not experienced at least one of Moringa’s virtues may be surprised that it has earned the name of “miracle tree”.  As defined by the Oxford Dictionary, a miracle is an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific…
