How FAR can we go to Support Farmers in building Eco-Social Resilience?
New Fundraiser Coming Soon!
Our pilot programs in Kenya and Uganda have been 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, and our 3rd pilot in Kenya which started in February 2021 is completing in September 2023.
This has all been made possible by the generosity of our many supporters.
We will soon be sharing information about our plans to launch a new non-profit to continue this essential work, taking it to the next level, and building our capacity to work with new communities of farmers who can participate and benefit from it.
If you haven't already joined our email list, please do, so that you'll hear all about our plans as they unfold.

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 now due to complete at the end of September 2023.
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 has been 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.
