How FAR can we go to Support Farmers in building Eco-Social Resilience?
DONATE NOW!

Our pilot programs in Kenya and Uganda are now demonstrating real impact, with the farmers seeing improved food security and incomes as they put their 3-month training in permaculture design into practice, create their model farms, and build collaborative networks with other farmers in their communities. See our regular Newsletters for the latest updates. Our first pilot in Kenya ended successfully early in 2020, our 2nd pilot in Uganda completed in the summer of 2021. Our 3rd pilot started in Kenya in February 2021 with the same team at C-MRA who delivered Phase 1.
The contributions you make now will help us continue this essential work, building our capacity to work with new communities of farmers who can participate and benefit from this programme.
permEzone is a project of Empowerment WORKS, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

  • Help them increase their income from diverse crops, and reduce their farm costs
  • Help us support them as they work together to find shared solutions to common problems
  • Help improve the local environment and take action to reverse climate change

We started this pilot program in June 2017, and have made a great start turning theory into practice. Our approach of working with selected training centers in East Africa, where they already work with local farming communities, means that we can make the most of their experience in training and support that is adapted to the needs of local conditions and cultures.

We've raised all the funds we need to complete the 3rd and final pilot project with the farmers in Kisa West, Kenya, which is on track to complete at the end of 2022.

With your continuing support we can maintain this momentum, and expand the program to work in cooperation with additional centers in E. Africa, develop and support the cell-phone platform, and carry out the detailed program of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) that will ensure that we continue to learn and grow, and achieve the greatest benefits possible.

Our MEL team of academics and development professionals are working together to monitor, evaluate and report on the program's impact. Feedback from the trainers, the farmers and their support workers will inform the continuous development of the program, and the creation of a knowledge-base and support-base for the roll-out of the service world-wide.
