The Women and Youth Co-operative (WAYCO) was registered as a co-operative on the 30th September 2009. The Co-operative was funded an amount of R657 000.00 by the NDA; the funding commenced beginning September 2012 for 12 months.

The purpose for the funding was overall to increasing the scales at which they produce fresh flowers and diversify into vegetables production targeting the local community and promoting the poverty eradication. Whilst their specific objectives were to contribute to poverty eradication by building sustainable livelihoods amongst their Co-operative members and job creation, increase current operations by 3 hectares thereby increasing productive output supplying the Spar and the local community with affordable fresh followers and vegetables on a continuous basis.
