Supporting permaculture in Tanzania - call out for expert help!

Posted by Irma Kinga Allen about 13 years ago

Call out for experienced permaculturists in the East Africa region!

I've joined forces with a great charity out in Tanzania called the Kigamboni Community Centre set up by a good friend of mine who I recently encouraged to attend a permaculture course in northern Tanzania. He would now like to apply what he's learned and develop KCC owned land into a fully-functioning permaculture demonstration project. At the moment I am supporting the project from the UK with a view to helping to find funding to get things started, but the guys on the ground are keen to get things going practically and are in the design stage. We are keen to hear about any experienced permaculturists who may be in the East Africa area who would be willing to go out and help them in doing this. None of us have any experience ourselves - so it should be fun! The guys are hugely ambitious with plans to build a school, clinic, community space as well as develop agriculture and aquiculture projects, and I know they will do it! But it would be great to have some expert input. Please get in touch!

Elke Cole : Hi Irma My friend Max from the czeck republic pointed out your notice and this forum to me and I want to contact you to see what's possible. I have been working with a group in Bagamoyo TZ also on setting up permaculture practices and planning. We're developing a site outside of town to be the centre for a children's home, a small school and a farm that supports it all. So far we've done a bunch of planning and building (my background is very much in natural building and architecture). Like you I have been looking for experienced permies who know specifically about the hot/humid climate that we have there. Are you interested in collaborating in some form? What might that look like? I invite you to check out my website to find out more about me and the project so far: http://www.elkecole.com and blog: http://elkeallover.blogspot.com/

I look forward to hearing back from you Cheers Elke
