At Tembaletu Active Learning Centre, learning is about much more than training. Through practical programmes that combine hands-on experience with real-world products, beneficiaries develop skills, confidence and workplace experience while creating items that are sold to the public.  Whether working in the garden, kitchen or craft studio, participants are actively involved in transforming skills into products and products into opportunities.

Tembaletu’s enterprise activities are built around three learning spaces.  The Micro Farm teaches urban agriculture, soil science, crop rotation and food production.  Produce grown on-site is harvested and sold while beneficiaries learn practical farming skills that can be applied beyond the Centre.

The Food Lab combines cooking, baking and nutrition education.  Beneficiaries participate in professional baking and cooking training while producing food items that are sold, creating early opportunities for entrepreneurship and income generation.

The Maker Studio focuses on beading and textile work.  Here, beneficiaries create handmade handbags, home décor items and practical crafts, gaining experience in product development, production and sales.

Products currently include:

Every product sold represents more than a transaction.  It reflects hours of learning, practice and personal achievement by beneficiaries who are developing practical skills in agriculture, food production and craft enterprises.  Purchases help strengthen these programmes while creating opportunities for participants to gain confidence, build experience and contribute meaningfully through their work.

Whether you are looking for handcrafted gifts, unique décor items or locally produced goods, Tembaletu offers products that combine quality with impact. Every purchase supports a learning environment where skills are developed through participation and opportunity grows through experience.

Product availability varies according to what is being produced through the Maker Studio, Food Lab, and Micro Farm programmes.  Customers are encouraged to contact Tembaletu directly for current stock and product information.
