It is constructed in a variety of ways - often resembling a small raised dwelling.We use the Isiphala as a metaphor for our work because it represents investment in future well-being.Our symbol is iconic rather than literal:the CAF colours are used for the vital opening in the Isiphala through which the farmers 'invest' grain into the store, and through which they 'draw' their investment as needed. THANK YOU!
