Cultivating a Greener Future Together

We thank you for your support of our work.

It has been a busy year - working around the changing lockdown regulations and even launching a distance learning WhattsApp platform that enabled us to keep teaching through the recent Third Wave lockdown. This platform is the start of our online training - which has the potential to enable resilience training at a national level.

To date we have facilitated the following:

• 103 graduates from the Applied Permaculture bootcamp.
• 31 graduates through the distancel learning WhattsApp platform.
• 24 facilitators equipped through the Training of Trainers.
• 13 Community gardners equipped with growing and planning skills.

We have also kept our focus on local food resilience by supporting three local feeding schemes through:

• Growing 1,4 tonnes of high nutritional organic vegetables.
• Baking nearly 7300 naan breads.

 In South Africa the national youth unemployment rate now sits at 74,8% and we remain committed to growing resilience skills in our participants and connecting them to work opportunities in the local green economy.

As Permaculture Founder, Bill Mollison said: "While the problems of the world grow increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrasingly simple."
