Mission Statement
Indigo development & change facilitates empowerment of disadvantaged groups, contributing towards a socially just society while conserving biodiversity in rural areas of South Africa and in the context of changing natural and social systems.

Vision

We will achieve this through development of participatory approaches, the active development of local and global networks and capacity development processes.
 Indigofera disticha  
Where does the name INDIGO come from?

The organisation is named after the plant Indigofera disticha, a legume that occurs widely in South Africa and is know as being a useful pioneer plant, fixing nitrogen in the soil. It grows prolific after rain and is very drought resistant. This plant even provides some feed in drought and the feed value is high.

This reflects our vision of being a catalyst for positive change for marginalised groups. You can spot this plant in our logo.
 

 Resilience?
"There are various positive side effects of enhancing one’s feeling for compassion. One of them is the greater force of your compassion, the greater your resilience in confronting hardships and your ability to transform them into more positive conditions."

Dalai Lama
