Dorah Marema, Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity, South Africa

When COVID-19 hit Johannesburg West, Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity, Dorah Marema, used the principle of Letšema, to help tackle food insecurity in her community. South Africa’s existing inequalities were laid bare by the coronavirus and Dorah saw people in her community going to bed hungry. With support from the Atlantic Institute she helped local women develop a self sustainable model of growing food and selling the excess at community markets.
