When Julious Piti visited Santa Barbara and spoke at City College, he painted an extraordinary picture: a remote community in Zimbabwe where permaculture has become a normal part of life for most people. Over the last 20 years, this has helped them move from desperate shortage to meeting their own needs with surplus to share, thanks to the local inspiration and grassroots activation of Julious and his colleagues at the Chikukwa Ecological Land Trust (CELUCT).
Now they’re asking for help. Not for themselves, but so that they can share their success with other communities throughout Africa.
Please help them reach their funding target so that farmers from the poor community of Murehwa can travel to Chikukwa and be housed, fed and trained for 2 weeks in the permaculture skills that have allowed Chikukwa to thrive.
